On the afternoon of November 8, Mr. Pham Duy Thang - Head of the Department of Transport Infrastructure Management of the Department of Construction - said that up to this point, although the rain has stopped, it is still not safe to clean up soil and rocks at the location of the severe landslide that caused congestion on the coastal road section through Ky Xuan commune.
Meanwhile, at small landslides on this route, cleanup is being carried out.
According to Mr. Thang, it is expected that next Monday, after checking the site, the Department of Construction will hold a meeting and then decide on the implementation of clearing the soil and rocks if it is found to be safe.
"It may take a week to clean up to open the route," Mr. Thang shared.
According to Mr. Thang, in the long term, it is necessary to study the construction of a retaining wall system, stone cages, and tailings to stabilize the terrain and reduce landslide pressure at this section.
As Lao Dong reported, heavy rain in the previous days caused complete traffic congestion at Km 84+700 of the coastal road of Ha Tinh in Ky Xuan commune on the morning of November 4.
On the same afternoon, when the construction unit was leveling and releasing the landslide block to clear the route, the mountain suddenly continued to slide, tilting a excavator and a truck.
As a result, 2 workers (one excavator driver and one truck driver) were injured and had to be hospitalized for treatment.
After the incident, the Ha Tinh Department of Construction directed the implementation of road closures to ensure safety. During the road closure period, vehicles are allowed to divert and be guided to the bypass route.
