There is a plan to fix the problem of the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway track.

On the afternoon of October 10, speaking with a reporter from Vietnam News Agency, a representative of the Vietnam Railway Corporation said that the railway industry and local authorities have just agreed on a plan to repair the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway section through the Da Phuc - Trung Gia section after a major flood washed away the roadbed.

Accordingly, the railway industry decided to stop trains running on the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway route (departing from Dong Anh station (Hanoi) to Quan Trieu station (Thai Nguyen); at the same time, initially, it will dump boulders in the area where the flood eroded the soil to prevent the flow from causing flooding in the downstream area, limiting the impact on the people.

“The Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway only runs freight trains, so it does not affect passenger transport. Due to the nature of the section of road that had the incident lying along rice fields, in the long term there will be a plan to build a drainage system through here to avoid situations like the one just happened,” added a representative of Vietnam Railways Corporation .

Previously, high, fast-flowing floodwaters swept away about 30 meters of the Hanoi - Thai Nguyen railway line in the Da Phuc - Trung Gia section, causing the railway to stop operating.
