According to Road Management Area III, in recent days, due to prolonged heavy rain, many landslides have appeared on Ho Chi Minh Highway through Da Nang city, notably at Km1409+100, Km1406+600, Km1403+000 in the Lo Xo Pass area (the section connecting Da Nang city with Quang Ngai province).

A large amount of rock and soil has filled the road, causing complete traffic congestion for the past two days, causing hundreds of vehicles to be stuck.

Currently, the authorities are continuing to mobilize human resources and equipment to urgently fix the problem, however, due to prolonged heavy rain, the route clearance work is still facing many difficulties.
