Quang Ngai: Temporarily open National Highway 24

At noon on November 23, Mr. Do Minh Son, Head of National Highway 24 Management Department, said that after many hours of efforts to implement measures to handle the landslide at Km 112 + 200, by 12 noon on the same day, National Highway 24 was temporarily opened to traffic.

Landslide at Km 112 + 900 completely cut off National Highway 24.

Accordingly, after a landslide with a volume of nearly 400 m3 of rock and soil falling onto National Highway 24, Kon Tum Construction and Traffic Works Management Joint Stock Company dispatched 2 excavators and 6 trucks to handle the rock and soil from two directions. By noon on November 23, the route was temporarily cleared, and vehicles were able to pass under the guidance of the authorities.

However, Km 112 + 200 is a dangerous landslide location, with a volume of about 100,000 m3 of rock and soil from the top of the hill that can slide down to the road surface, risking further cutting off the vital route connecting the East and West of Quang Ngai province. Therefore, the authorities have issued a warning to people and vehicles to limit their travel on National Highway 24.

Previously, as reported by VNA, due to the impact of prolonged rain, on the morning of November 23, the location Km 112 + 200 on National Highway 24, the section passing through Mang Den commune, Quang Ngai province, suffered a serious landslide, with hundreds of cubic meters of soil and rock spilling onto the road surface. After handling the situation to temporarily clear the route, the authorities continued to deploy human and material resources at this location to be ready to respond in case of further landslides.
