On September 28, Mr. A Duy Khanh - Vice Chairman of Dak Plo Commune People's Committee - said that the commune is monitoring and grasping the landslide risk situation in the area, especially the section passing through Lo Xo Pass.
Lo Xo Pass borders Da Nang City and Quang Ngai Province, extending more than 40 km between the mountains and forests, with steep, difficult-to-move slopes.
On the same morning, at Km1448 on the pass, there was a phenomenon of landslides and trees flowing down to Ho Chi Minh Road. The muddy, muddy soil makes it difficult for drivers to move through this road.
Meanwhile, there is still a potential risk of further landslides, threatening the safety of people's lives.
According to Mr. A Duy Khanh, previously, the leaders of Quang Ngai province, the Department of Construction and Road Management Area III established an interdisciplinary inspection team to survey locations at high risk of landslides on Lo Xo Pass.
Including two locations of frog jaw erosion. When it rains heavily, the hills and soil are waterlogged, causing a large amount of rock and soil to flow onto the road. In particular, this pass has a high traffic density for passenger cars and freight vehicles.
In addition to the potential risk of landslides, many sections of Lo Xo Pass are very bad, with potholes, potholes, and cracked concrete road surfaces. Heavy trucks climbing steep slopes for decades often face the risk of accidents and brake failure.
The People's Committee of Dak Plo commune is closely monitoring the situation of storms and traffic safety on the pass, which is considered the most dangerous in the Central Highlands region.
