Previously, as reported by SGGP Newspaper, on the morning of November 17, at Km224+600 to Km224+700 of Prenn Pass, a serious landslide occurred on the negative slope, about 100m long. In the following days, many other cracks and subsidence continued to appear on the pass, about 300m long, posing a potential risk of major landslides.

After a period of urgent handling and reinforcement of the roadbed, authorities said the pass is now eligible for temporary traffic.
