TPO – Following heavy rains caused by Typhoon No. 4, many areas such as La Nga Pass and many roads passing through Hoa Vang District, Da Nang City, have experienced landslides, with many points of soil and rocks potentially collapsing at any time, posing a danger to people using the roads.

Following heavy rains, the La Nga Pass area, Provincial Road 601 in Hoa Bac commune, and the vital transportation route connecting National Highway 1A (the section through Lien Chieu district) to Hoa Lien and Hoa Bac communes in Hoa Vang district are at high risk of landslides, posing a danger to road users.

According to Tien Phong newspaper, the DT 601 road section through La Nga pass is a vital transportation route leading to Ta Lang - Gian Bi villages in Hoa Bac commune. However, this area is at high risk of landslides, with soil and rocks from the hills and mountains potentially falling down, posing a danger and significantly affecting the movement of people.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoi, a frequent traveler on provincial road DT 601, said that the section through La Nga pass is often affected by landslides during the rainy season. He, like many others, feels worried and insecure when traveling through this area because rocks and soil from the hillside could collapse at any time.

A section of Provincial Road 601, passing through La Nga Pass, has collapsed into a reservoir supplying water to the Hoa Lien water treatment plant. Currently, this section of road is being repaired and upgraded.

Water flowing from the cliffs causes soil and rock erosion, posing a high risk of landslides.

In addition, many other areas of Hoa Bac commune also experienced landslides causing rocks and soil to fall onto the roads, making people worried.

The main road connecting National Highway 1A (the section passing through Lien Chieu district) to Hoa Lien and Hoa Bac communes has been affected by landslides from the hills and mountains, creating a thick layer of mud that significantly impacts people's travel.

Some points on the mountains and hills on both sides of the road have deep cracks due to water erosion, increasing the risk of landslides.

The So Mountain area in Hoa Son commune, Hoa Vang district, is also at risk of landslides during the rainy season. Several landslide-prone areas have appeared on these mountains, causing anxiety and worry among residents living at the foot of the mountains.

To ensure safety, authorities have placed warning signs to warn people when passing through these roads.
