Nghe An: Focus on restoring landslides along National Highway 7 to ensure traffic for people

After the flood, National Highway 7 was severely damaged. Currently, units are mobilizing human resources and equipment to repair the situation and ensure the safety of people and vehicles as soon as possible.

Nearly two months after the historic flood caused by storm No. 3, according to reporters, National Highway 7 from Con Cuong commune to Tuong Duong commune is still in disarray, with many landslides and fractures. The repair work is being carried out urgently. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Mr. Le Canh Tam - Director of Joint Stock Company 495 said: Currently, we mobilize more than 150 engineers and workers, divided into many teams to carry out construction at the same time at the landslide sites on National Highway 7. Due to the large volume of work, many items must be done manually, so the unit has to hire additional outside workers to meet the demand. Photo: Xuan Hoang

According to observations, there are severe landslides, 3 - 5 meters deep compared to the roadbed, making construction conditions difficult. Photo: Quang An

Trucks continuously supply boulders to locations for workers to deploy embankments. Mr. Tran Quang Yen - Technical Manager of Traffic Construction and Management Joint Stock Company 487 said that the unit was assigned to construct 12 negative slope landslide locations from Km 144 - 194 (stretching 50km through the two old districts of Tuong Duong and Ky Son). To restore the road, it is expected to have to embank more than 10,000 rock cages. Photo: Xuan Hoang

Currently, the construction on the route is facing certain difficulties such as erratic weather, affecting progress, rising river water while the stone embankment area is close to the river water level, machinery cannot go down to level the land because it is prone to subsidence, and some points are lacking in raw stone.

As a vital route to the western localities of Nghe An, the number of vehicles traveling on National Highway 7 is very large, traffic regulation through construction sites is especially important to avoid accidents. Photo: Quang An

Since the flood receded, workers have been working continuously for nearly 2 months. Mr. Nguyen Van Minh, a worker on the route, shared: Despite facing many difficulties, we all try to work, hoping that the road will be completed soon to facilitate people's travel. Photo: Quang An

Authorities use walkie-talkies to regulate traffic at both ends as well as command the construction of each item. Photo: Quang An

According to the construction unit, it is expected that the landslides on National Highway 7 will not be repaired until November 2025, so people traveling on the route need to pay attention and follow traffic rules to ensure safety. Photo: Quang An
