Ho Chi Minh Road (Lo Xo Pass area) has a landslide causing traffic jam at Km 1407+800, expected to be open to traffic by 11pm tonight, October 27. However, the weather in the area is still rainy, so the risk of further landslides causing traffic jams is very high. Vehicles are advised to follow National Highway 19 or National Highway 24 to connect traffic between National Highway 1 and Ho Chi Minh Road.

National Highway 49B (Hue City) is flooded, causing traffic jams at 7 points. Currently, barriers are being set up to direct traffic through the local road system.

By 3:00 p.m. on October 27, the road management unit had filled the gravel stream to temporarily open the bridge for motorbikes and non-motorized vehicles to pass through.
