Rapid response to landslides, opening a road to Phiêng Phàng tourist village.

THAI NGUYEN - Following heavy rain on the night of June 29th to the early morning of June 30th, the concrete road connecting Provincial Road 258 to Phieng Phang village, Thuong Minh commune, Thai Nguyen province, suffered landslides in many places.

About 1km from Phiêng Phàng village, there is a large landslide that has destroyed a section of the roadbed, with soil and rocks from the uphill slope spilling down and covering the remaining road surface.

Not far from the landslide site, flash floods buried the entire drainage culvert, and a section of the concrete roadbed broke, creating a deep cavity that made it impassable for vehicles.

Mr. Trieu Thanh Chu, from Phieng Phang village, said that heavy rain continued for many hours, causing the stream from the upstream to rush down, carrying large rocks that blocked the drainage ditches, and damaging the road surface in many places. The villagers are working with the authorities to repair the damage so that traffic can resume as soon as possible.
