Since the early morning of October 28, National Highway 1 through Ong Vac Bridge, Luong Son Commune, Lam Dong Province has been temporarily cut off due to rising floodwaters from the Luy River.

Speaking with Tuoi Tre Online , Mr. Pham Thanh Tuan from the Road Management Office IV.1 said that the unit has arranged staff to coordinate traffic regulation in the flooded area.

According to Mr. Tuan, the current flood water is about half a meter high, stretching about 100 meters, so vehicles cannot pass through this section of National Highway 1 in both directions. Fortunately, National Highway 1 has not had as much traffic as before due to the expressway, so there is only a slight traffic jam.

Lam Dong Province Hydrometeorological Station previously forecasted that from the evening of October 27 to the morning of October 28, the rain situation in the basin would increase, and floods on the Luy River were likely to rise again. The flood peak could reach approximately level II alarm (27.5 m).

Localities also warn of the risk of landslides on slopes, embankments, and flooding in low-lying areas along upstream rivers and streams in the Luy River basin.
