"By this morning (September 14th), the floodwaters at Km 191+400 had receded, with the deepest point now only about 0.5m compared to 0.7m yesterday. Based on the actual situation, the operating management unit coordinated with functional forces to reroute and regulate traffic, directing low-clearance vehicles to move in lane 1 at a slow speed to ensure safety," Mr. Loan said.

According to Mr. Loan, the pumping station in the area is currently operating at full capacity. Instead of only two pumps operating as in previous days, all six pumps are now in operation to increase the drainage capacity for the highway.

"Unless there are any unforeseen developments, it is expected that by late this afternoon, the flooded area on the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway will be basically cleared, and all types of vehicles will be able to travel as normal," Mr. Pham Van Loan informed.

Earlier, from the morning of September 10th, rising water levels in the downstream area caused flooding at Km 191+400 on the Phap Van - Cau Gie expressway. At peak times, the deepest water level reached approximately 0.8m, while the lowest was around 0.15m.
