Heavy rain causes landslides and flooding on many roads in Lam Dong

Due to the impact of continuous heavy rain from the evening of November 15 to 17, many important traffic routes in Lam Dong province experienced landslides and flooding, causing local isolation and greatly affecting the traffic of people and tourists.

According to Mr. Le Ngoc Tien, Director of the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province, at about 4:00 a.m. on November 17, the area of ​​Km218 - Km218+500 (Le Thu lake) on National Highway 20, the section passing through Hiep Thanh commune was deeply flooded due to heavy rain, making it impossible for vehicles to move. The Department of Construction coordinated with the People's Committee of Hiep Thanh commune, the Traffic Police Department and the interdisciplinary force to temporarily ban traffic to ensure safety.

On the morning of November 17, the area Km218 - Km218+500 (Le Thu Lake) on National Highway 20, the section passing through Hiep Thanh commune, was suddenly flooded due to heavy rain, making it impossible for vehicles to move.

Meanwhile, the section passing through D'ran Pass is still temporarily closed to traffic as directed from October 30, 2025, due to many dangerous landslides that previously occurred.

Authorities support the evacuation of flooded households in Hiep Thanh commune.

In addition, at 10:00 p.m. on November 16, 2025, at Km45 (in Khanh Hoa province), the positive slope suddenly collapsed, dragging rocks and trees across the road, burying a passenger bus. The incident completely cut off National Highway 27C - the route connecting Khanh Hoa with Lam Dong.

Authorities conduct rescue work on National Highway 27C, the route connecting Khanh Hoa with Lam Dong.

Director of the Department of Construction Le Ngoc Tien said that he has directed the road management unit to divert traffic at Km114 (in Lam Dong) and mobilize forces and vehicles to urgently clear rocks and soil, and fix landslides in Lam Dong province.

At the same time, at 9:00 a.m. on November 17, 2025, at Km224+600 - Km224+700 of Prenn Pass, a landslide occurred on the negative slope embankment along a length of about 100m, causing half of the roadbed from Da Lat to Ho Chi Minh City to collapse to the foot of the pass. This is a location with steep terrain, high humidity, and potential safety risks if heavy rain continues.

Prenn Pass has serious landslides, temporarily banning traffic

Immediately after the incident, the Department of Construction coordinated with the People's Committee of Xuan Huong Ward - Da Lat, the Traffic Police Department and functional units to divert traffic through Mimosa Pass and the Tuyen Lam Lake national tourist route, ensuring smooth traffic (according to Notice 392/TB-SXD dated November 17, 2025).

In addition to the landslides and flooding points mentioned above, the Department of Construction said that national highways, provincial roads and other traffic routes in the province are still operating normally, with no additional dangerous locations recorded.

Mr. Le Ngoc Tien affirmed, “We are closely monitoring the developments of heavy rain, focusing on handling landslides to quickly restore traffic, ensuring the highest safety for people and vehicles.”
