A representative of Saigon Railway Joint Stock Company said that at 10:15 a.m. on May 21, while workers were repairing the Chi Thanh railway tunnel (tunnel 17 - Km1168+555 - 1168+880) in the La Hai - Chi Thanh section (Tuy An district, Phu Yen province), a mass of rock and soil of about 20m3 suddenly slid down from the top of the tunnel, lying haphazardly on the railway section through the tunnel.
Scene of the landslide.
Mr. Le Quang Vinh, Director of Phu Khanh Railway Exploitation Branch, said that due to heavy rain in Phu Yen province in recent days, rainwater seeped into the soil and rocks, causing soil and rocks on the tunnel ceiling to fall down.
" The Chi Thanh railway tunnel was being closed for renovation when suddenly the soil and rocks on the ceiling collapsed. Currently, the authorities are urgently fixing the problem, " said Mr. Vinh.
Previously, on April 12, 2024, a landslide at Bai Gio tunnel (in Dai Lanh commune, Van Ninh district, Khanh Hoa province) caused the North-South railway traffic to be interrupted for 10 days. The incident caused Vietnam Railways Corporation (VNR) to lose 50.4 billion VND to fix the problem and transport passengers by road.
