According to Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) and the Vietnam Road Administration, although repair work is being carried out 24/7, the damage is so great that many areas are still unable to open the route.
On the national railway, damage is widespread in sections from Dieu Tri - Quy Nhon to Khanh Hoa, Phu Yen . Many locations have had their rock foundations washed away, water has eroded the roadbed 1-2 meters deep, leaving the rails hanging.
Some sections were blocked by falling rocks and soil after the flood, forcing the management unit to block off the road to ensure safety. Particularly, the area from Xuan Son Nam to Chi Thanh recorded a series of landslides, eroded rock foundations, and soil and rocks covered the railway tracks.
The incident forced the railway industry to stop 33 passenger trains, and dozens of freight and passenger trains were forced to stay along the track for hours. As roads in the area were also cut off, stations had to organize serving more than 15,000 meals to stranded passengers, while rescue forces continued to open access to severely damaged areas.
Up to now, some sections such as Luong Son - Phong Thanh or Nha Trang - Cay Cay have just been temporarily cleared, trains can run at a speed of 5 km/h with a guide.
On the national highway system, many routes were flooded, had landslides or completely broken roadbed structures.
According to the report of the Roads Department, as of 4 p.m. on November 22, there were still 13 traffic jams. On Truong Son Dong Street (Quang Ngai), a large landslide is expected to only be able to open one lane of traffic by the end of the day.
In Khanh Hoa, the entire National Highway 27C section through Khanh Le Pass has been closed to traffic since November 17 due to continuous landslides; vehicles are forced to go around via National Highway 1, National Highway 27 or Lien Khuong - Prenn Expressway.
Notably, this afternoon, Khanh Le Pass through Bo Lang village (Nam Khanh Vinh commune) has many new damaged spots, with cracks in half of the road surface, more than 40 meters long, and a collapse of nearly one meter.
In Lam Dong, Mimosa Pass on National Highway 20 suffered a nearly 70-meter-long, 40-meter-deep roadbed fracture - one of the most severe damage recorded during this flood. Many sections on National Highway 28 and National Highway 4E (Da Nang) also collapsed, forcing authorities to divert traffic from a distance and organize 24-hour patrols at dangerous points.
The Vietnam Road Administration and the Ministry of Construction have dispatched many working groups to the scene, mobilizing human resources, machinery and spare materials to open the road, including providing 5,000 stone cages to Lam Dong to reinforce the landslide sites. However, due to the continued heavy rain, the risk of new landslides is very high, making it difficult to completely clear the road...
