Accordingly, after more than 10 hours of effort deploying forces, machinery, and equipment, the authorities have basically cleared the scene, hundreds of cubic meters of mud and soil have been removed, and many fallen trees blocking the Mimosa pass have been cut down and collected.

Clearing the landslide site on Mimosa Pass and allowing traffic to resume is crucial, especially given the serious landslide that occurred on Prenn Pass (Xuan Huong Ward, Da Lat) on the afternoon of December 4th. Authorities were forced to prohibit traffic to address the situation and ensure safety.

Accordingly, vehicles can choose to travel via Mimosa Pass, Sacom Pass, and Ta Nung Pass (DT.725 road) from the afternoon of December 4th until further notice.
