On provincial road 543D, through Ta Do village, soil, rocks, and mud are overflowing along both sides of the road and currently the road clearance is only done by manual tools, making the road narrow and difficult to travel. Just a little rain, the huge amount of soil, rocks, and mud around will bury the road again.

To gradually overcome the consequences, recently Muong Tip commune has mobilized machinery, all forces of the commune's agencies, police, border guards, forces of Na Ngoi commune to support and people from the villages in the area to repair roads, dredge, clear rocks, fallen trees to clear traffic... At the points where rocks fell, Muong Tip commune organized to build fences, set up checkpoints to prevent people and vehicles from passing, and put up warning signs for people to know and avoid.

As of August 7, the entire provincial road 543D has basically been cleared, motorbikes and high-chassis cars can travel. However, people traveling on the road also need to be extremely careful, because there are still potential safety risks due to the possibility of continued landslides and falling rocks...

Ta Do village is still buried under soil, rocks and mud, and needs mechanical vehicles to come in soon to help with the thorough cleanup. Photo: Dinh Tuyen

To ensure traffic safety, Muong Tip commune is requesting all levels and sectors to direct the management unit of route 543D to increase human resources and machinery to continue construction, handle landslides and road loss points; create conditions for vehicles to clean up and transport large volumes of soil and rocks that are burying Ta Do village... In particular, there is a solution to overcome the section of route Km70 +400 (Xop Tip village area) that often has landslides and rolling rocks, which is very dangerous./.
