Informing Lao Dong Newspaper on November 21, the Vietnam Road Administration said that in the face of many sections on National Highway 1 through Gia Lai, Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa continuing to be deeply flooded, causing prolonged traffic congestion, the Vietnam Road Administration has directed the Road Management Areas to coordinate with local authorities to announce plans to remotely divert traffic to go through deeply flooded and traffic congested areas on National Highway 1.
In Gia Lai province, the section Km1229+00 - Km1230+00 has been flooded since the morning of November 19, 2025, and has not yet been withdrawn. On-site forces have quickly diverted vehicles towards National Highway 1D, reduced pressure on flooded areas and prevented unsafe risks.
In Dak Lak province, three locations were heavily flooded, including sections Km1340+00 - Km1343+00, Km1350 - Km1353 and newly arising locations at Km1327 - Km1328 (Tuy Hoa bypass route). The water has not receded, continuing to be potentially dangerous.
The Vietnam Road Administration has issued a comprehensive traffic diversion plan, regulating traffic according to the early stream separation roadmap: Vehicles traveling on National Highway 1 from North to South to Km1213+400 (three-way down from Ba Di bridge) turn onto National Highway 19 to go to Pleiku city (Gia Lai), join Ho Chi Minh road at Km1597+800.
From Ho Chi Minh Road, vehicles are directed to Buon Ma Thuot City, entering National Highway 26 at Km151+00, continuing to Khanh Hoa and returning to National Highway 1 at Km1421+350. This plan is applied in both directions to dispers traffic, avoid congestion and reduce the risk of traffic conflicts in deeply flooded areas.
In Khanh Hoa province, the section Km1451+600 was flooded due to the release of an irrigation dam, flooding about 80 cm deep over a length of nearly 1 km. The road management unit has urgently dismantled the median strip and cleared the garbage to increase drainage capacity.
The route is temporarily banned and the authorities organize traffic flow along the Nha Trang city inner-city road system to continue the journey in both the North - South directions.
The traffic diversion plans implemented by the Vietnam Road Administration not only help reduce pressure at flooded areas but also ensure safety for people and vehicles in extreme weather conditions.
The Department is continuing to closely monitor water levels, ready to reopen the route when there are sufficient safety conditions, and at the same time requiring forces to be on duty 24/7 to support people and handle arising situations.
