Route DT606 (through the communes of A Vuong, Tay Giang, Hung Son) continues to be blocked at km43+300, the section from km60+000 to km68+000 due to landslides. Director of Dong Phong Construction and Consulting Joint Stock Company Luong Manh Hung (the contractor in charge of regular management and maintenance) said that the local government and the unit mobilized people to lend land to build a temporary road next to it, while waiting for the repair at km43+300. Thus, vehicles can travel from the beginning of the route up to km60+000 (Hung Son commune).

Mr. Hung said that clearing landslides from km60+000 to the end of the route will take a lot of time.

“It is currently raining in the DT606 area, there is a risk of landslides occurring again. The unit is divided into two groups, one group is working on the area at km43+300, the other group is working from km60+00 and above. Communication is difficult because the phone signal is unstable and sometimes the signal is lost,” said Mr. Hung.
