National Highway 15C is the main road connecting the lowland districts of Thanh Hoa province with 8 highland communes of the old Muong Lat district and going to Hua Phan province, Laos through Ten Tan border gate.

This route passes through mountainous terrain with steep slopes, so landslides often occur, causing traffic jams every time there is heavy rain.
