Ha Tinh: National Highway 8A to Cau Treo international border gate reopened after landslide

On the evening of September 29, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Duc Thien, Political Commissar of the Cau Treo International Border Gate Border Guard Station (Border Guard Command, under the Military Command of Ha Tinh Province) said that by about 5:00 p.m. the same day, National Highway 8A to Cau Treo International Border Gate had opened to traffic in one lane.

National Highway 8A has reopened after being blocked by landslides.

Previously, due to the influence of storm No. 10, heavy rains continued in Son Kim 1 commune ( Ha Tinh province). At about 7:00 a.m. on September 29, at Km77+300 of National Highway 8A (through Son Kim 1 commune), a landslide occurred, with trees falling from the high cliff, blocking the road, stretching for dozens of meters.

The landslide caused traffic congestion, preventing vehicles from Cau Treo international border gate to the inland and vice versa from passing through the area.

Immediately after receiving the news, the Cau Treo International Border Guard Station coordinated with relevant agencies and local authorities to mobilize forces and vehicles to quickly arrive at the scene to organize traffic flow, put up warning signs, and set up checkpoints at both ends of the landslide site to ensure traffic safety.

At the same time, urgently fix landslides, remove rocks and trees on National Highway 8A.

Vehicles passing through after the landslide area on National Highway 8A was cleared.

After many hours of effort, the Border Guard Station of Cau Treo International Border Gate and functional units have cleared nearly 1,000 cubic ^meters of earth, rocks, and trees, clearing the scene area to allow traffic to resume.

Some cliff areas along National Highway 8A are at risk of dangerous landslides and falling rocks.

Due to the rainy weather, there is still a risk of landslides and fallen trees along Highway 8A. Drivers traveling through this area should pay close attention to ensure safety.
