The reason is that the area north of Ca Pass in Dak Lak province is heavily flooded, so vehicles traveling from the South to the area south of Ca Pass (Dak Lak province) have to stop. In addition, landslides are occurring in many areas of Ca Pass, affecting the traffic of vehicles.

Many flood relief vehicles cannot move.

In addition, the Van Phong – Nha Trang expressway is currently facing a similar situation as traffic flows back to Deo Ca tunnel. Ninh Hoa Traffic Police Station has coordinated with Dak Lak forces to regulate traffic, set up checkpoints to require some drivers to turn around or stop at Ninh Hoa; and at the same time, organized food supplies for drivers and passengers stuck.
