Accordingly, at km 1358+290, the Nga Ba - Suoi Cat section, the floodwaters rushed in and flooded the railway, washing away the stone foundation. Currently, the authorities have blocked off this area, waiting for the weather to stabilize, the rain and water flow to decrease before carrying out repairs.

In the North of Khanh Hoa province, heavy rain and strong currents also washed away the roadbed at km 1262+300-550; 1265+300-350; 1268+800-900. As soon as the information was received, the railway sector blocked the Hoa Huynh - Gia Phong section at 7:32 am. Repair plans must wait for the weather to be favorable before they can be implemented.

Currently, SNT2 trains stop at Hoa Tan station. Other railway trains running Thong Nhat SE1 and SE3 lines stop at Dieu Tri station; SE4 and SE2 trains stop at Tuy Hoa station; SNT2 trains stop at Hoa Tan station. For affected passengers, the railway industry will organize support for passengers to refund or return tickets for booked journeys when the route is not yet operational.

Heavy rains also caused flooding on national and provincial roads in Khanh Hoa province. Road traffic is still running smoothly. However, for some deeply flooded sections of National Highway 1, people need to pay attention to ensure traffic safety. For dangerous sections, authorities also set up barriers and warnings. People need to strictly follow instructions to ensure safety of property and life.

As for the two passes of Khanh Le and Khanh Son, the authorities are still trying to clear the route and search for the missing person (Khanh Son). However, due to the complicated weather, the recovery and search work is facing many difficulties.

According to initial statistics from authorities, heavy rains caused traffic disruption and landslides across the province, estimated at 80 billion VND.
