TPO – After heavy rains caused by storm No. 4, many areas such as La Nga Pass and many roads passing through Hoa Vang District, Da Nang City suffered landslides, many places of rocks and soil could collapse at any time, causing danger to people participating in traffic.

After heavy rains, the La Nga Pass area, DT 601 road in Hoa Bac commune and the main traffic route connecting National Highway 1A (section through Lien Chieu district) to Hoa Lien and Hoa Bac communes in Hoa Vang district are at high risk of landslides, posing a danger to traffic participants.

According to Tien Phong, the DT 601 road section through La Nga Pass is a vital traffic route leading to Ta Lang - Gian Bi villages, Hoa Bac commune. However, this area is at high risk of landslides, rocks and soil from the hills can fall down, causing danger and greatly affecting people's travel.

Mr. Nguyen Van Hoi, who often travels through Highway 601, said that the section passing through La Nga Pass is often prone to landslides during the rainy season. He, like many others, feels worried and insecure when traveling through this area because rocks and soil from the hills can fall down at any time.

Part of Highway 601 passing through La Nga Pass collapsed into the reservoir supplying water to Hoa Lien Water Plant. Currently, this road section is being repaired and upgraded.

Water flowing from the cliffs causes soil and rock erosion, posing a high risk of landslides.

In addition, many other areas of Hoa Bac commune also experienced landslides causing rocks and soil to fall onto the roads, making people worried.

On the main traffic route connecting National Highway 1A (through Lien Chieu District) to Hoa Lien and Hoa Bac communes, rocks and soil from the hills have overflowed onto the road surface, creating a thick layer of mud, greatly affecting people's travel.

Some points on the mountains and hills on both sides of the road have deep cracks due to water erosion, increasing the risk of landslides.

The Skull Mountain area in Hoa Son Commune, Hoa Vang District is also at risk of landslides during the rainy and stormy season. Landslides have appeared on these mountains, causing anxiety and worry for people living at the foot of the mountain.

To ensure safety, authorities have placed warning signs to warn people when passing through these roads.
