Floods directly affect the structure of the railway bridge spans and piers in the Central region.

Heavy rains lasting from November 17 to now in the Central region to Khanh Hoa have seriously affected many sections of the railway. In particular, since November 18 in Gia Lai province, heavy rainfall from upstream has increased, causing the water level at Luat Le 1 bridge (Km01+606) and Luat Le 2 bridge (Km02+729) to rise abnormally, with strong currents, directly threatening the structure of the span and the abutment.

As floods continue and develop unpredictably, railway management units in the Central and Central Highlands regions are always focused and urgent, mobilizing maximum forces and mechanical equipment, coordinating with units in the industry and local authorities to overcome problems and restore train operations as soon as possible.

The railway dispatched freight trains to load two railway bridges in Yaochi.

While waiting for the problem to be resolved, the Railway industry must temporarily suspend many trains on the North-South route and related branch lines to ensure absolute safety for passengers. Affected passengers are supported to refund or return tickets within a maximum period of 30 days, calculated from the date printed on the ticket.
