Overnight landslide repair on Prenn Pass, efforts to soon open the route

Lam Dong Province Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 1 and the construction unit worked through the night to handle the serious landslide on Prenn Pass.

Under the headlights of specialized vehicles and mechanical equipment, forces of Lam Dong Province Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 1 and the construction unit worked through the night to handle the serious landslide on Prenn Pass that occurred due to the impact of heavy rain on December 4.

Mr. Pham Ha, Supervisor of the Lam Dong Province Construction Investment Project Management Board No. 1, said that immediately after receiving information about the landslide, the unit activated the emergency response plan, mobilizing the maximum number of excavators, dump trucks, saws and other construction equipment to clear the scene.

Construction workers worked through the night to clear hundreds of cubic meters of dirt and rock that had spilled onto the road.

During the night of December 4 and early morning of December 5, construction workers continuously cleared hundreds of cubic meters of earth and rock that had spilled onto the road. At the same time, they coordinated with the Provincial Forest Protection Department and forest owners to cut down and deal with pine trees on the top of the slope that showed signs of being uprooted and in danger of falling at any time.

The weather on the night of December 4 and early morning of December 5 was rain-free, helping units to approach and handle the scene more quickly and safely.

Mr. Ha said that the favorable thing was that the weather was not rainy at night, helping the force to easily access and handle the scene more safely as well as creating conditions for the construction unit to speed up the progress of clearing rocks and soil, temporarily reinforcing the cracked positions on the slope to limit the risk of secondary landslides.

Forest owners cut down and handled fallen pine trees on Prenn Pass on the night of December 4 and early morning of December 5.

According to the report of the Department of Construction of Lam Dong province, from December 2 to 4, prolonged heavy rains caused the slope of the slope at Km224+600 - Km224+700 on the Prenn Pass road to be structurally broken, creating large cracks running along the hillside. A large amount of rock and soil then flowed onto the road, causing complete traffic congestion. More seriously, many pine trees on the slope were eroded, leaning towards the road, with the potential risk of collapsing onto passing vehicles.

A large amount of rock and soil spilled onto the road, causing a complete traffic jam on Prenn Pass on December 4.

Given the complex situation at the scene and to ensure absolute safety for the people, the Department of Construction has announced traffic diversion, temporarily banning people and vehicles from passing through the landslide site from 1 p.m. on December 4 until further notice. Traffic control plans have been deployed synchronously, guiding people to move to alternative routes to avoid safety risks.

Immediately after receiving information about the landslide, functional units activated the emergency response plan, mobilizing maximum excavators, dump trucks, saws and other construction equipment to clear the scene.

In the context of many major events of Lam Dong province about to take place, especially the peak time of the year-end tourist season and cultural and sports activities of the province, ensuring the smooth flow of Prenn Pass - the vital route connecting directly to Da Lat Administrative Center is the top priority task.

The Project Management Board leaders affirmed that the construction forces are making maximum efforts, working continuously day and night to shorten the repair time, soon reopen the road to serve the travel needs of people, tourists and event organization.

Functional units are urgently working to fix landslides on Prenn Pass, making efforts to reopen the route as soon as possible.

Currently, the construction unit is implementing many items in parallel to reinforce the slope, handle cracks by drilling anchors and reinforcement; expand the area of rock clearance to avoid landslides; and install a temporary warning system to control safety during the construction process. Field inspections are carried out continuously to detect early geological changes, thereby promptly adjusting the treatment plan.
