Landslides spread, traffic on Gia Bac pass remains paralyzed

In addition to the previous landslide, Gia Bac Pass (Lam Dong) continued to have two serious landslides, causing traffic through this section to be completely paralyzed.

On the afternoon of October 30, when the forces had just finished repairing the landslide at km59, National Highway 28, Gia Bac Pass experienced two other large-scale landslides at around 3:20 p.m.

The new landslide caused a lot of rock and soil to spill onto the road.

Each landslide was 30-40m long, causing hundreds of tons of rock and soil to fall from the hill, burying the road. The landslide also brought down many large trees with diameters of 0.4-0.6m, blocking the road.

The appearance of a new landslide has paralyzed traffic on National Highway 28.

Along with that, at km42 and km50 on National Highway 28, the landslide and subsidence situation is complicated due to prolonged rain. Landslides have completely paralyzed traffic in both directions on the pass on National Highway 28 through Gia Bac Pass.

Son Dien Commune People's Committee mobilized more than 50 people including police, militia, and local people to approach the scene to coordinate with the Traffic Police, Lam Dong Police and the road management unit to overcome the consequences. Two excavators were also mobilized to the scene to handle the landslides.

A militia comrade was injured while participating in cutting down trees in the forest and dealing with the incident.

Due to the large amount of rock, soil, and trees falling onto the road at the two landslides, the locality is coordinating with the Traffic Police to block off the road.

Son Dien Commune has also reported to Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee to direct the increase of forces and means to coordinate in overcoming landslides on Gia Bac Pass.

Although the forces have been making great efforts, it will be difficult to complete the work of handling and repairing the two landslides tonight. It is expected that by 7am on October 31st at the latest, if it does not rain, the landslide repair will be basically completed and traffic will be reopened.
