National Highway 55 through Lam Dong is deeply flooded for many days, unsuccessfully mobilizing pumps to prevent flooding
On the afternoon of August 19, Mr. Hong Viet Trung - Chairman of Bao Lam 3 Commune People's Committee - confirmed that National Highway 55, the section passing through hamlet 9, has been deeply flooded for 4 days due to continuous heavy rain.
Recorded at 4 pm on the same day, a section of road about 200m long on National Highway 55 was flooded 0.6-0.8m deep. The floodwater made it difficult for cars, small trucks and motorbikes to circulate. Some vehicles tried to overtake and stalled.
Notably, when heavy trucks circulated, water formed waves and flooded into people's houses on both sides of the road, causing many assets and items to be at risk of damage.
To overcome this, Bao Lam 3 Commune People's Committee coordinated with the road maintenance unit to mobilize water pumps to prevent flooding.
However, due to prolonged heavy rain, water from many directions continues to pour in, while the drainage capacity is limited, so flood control pumping has not been effective.
