National Highway 14G landslide, authorities work hard to fix
Due to the impact of storm No. 10, Da Nang City is experiencing prolonged heavy rain. On National Highway 14G, about 2km west of the Than Tai Mountain Tourist Area (Hoa Vang Commune), a large amount of landslides from the hillside with dry firewood overflowed and covered the road surface, causing traffic congestion.
Due to the heavy rain that has not stopped, rocks and soil continue to flow down, working groups have to be on duty all night to regulate and put up warning signs, ready to close the road when there are bad developments.
Heavy rain also caused many low-lying areas in the inner city of Da Nang and Quang Nam (old) to be deeply flooded, causing local traffic disruption. The rainwater rose rapidly at the spillways, many main roads appeared flooded from 0.5m to 1m, people had to hire a crane to move through the flooded areas.
The authorities of communes and wards have activated the "4 on-site" plan, inspected unsafe houses, called on people to limit going out during heavy rains, not going through spillways, areas along rivers, streams, and streams at risk of flash floods.
