Landslides occur just after the route is opened

On the morning of November 16, Mr. Thai Trong Thach, Chairman of the People's Committee of Tra Tan Commune (Bac Tra My District, Quang Nam), said that the authorities are repairing the landslide on National Highway 40B passing through the commune.

Previously, at 5:20 p.m. on November 15, National Highway 40B through the Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant area in Tra Tan commune was blocked due to a landslide.

According to Mr. Thach, the old landslide site had just been cleared and the road was cleared on the afternoon of November 15. In the evening of the same day, rocks and soil continued to slide down from the mountainside, burying the road surface, causing a complete blockage.

To ensure safety, the locality has placed warning signs, guiding people and vehicles needing to travel through this area to temporarily take the detour, going around the main dam and the auxiliary dam of Song Tranh 2 hydropower plant.
