Started in 2020, the road from Tan Trao to Den Cam has the goal of developing spiritual and ecological tourism and improving the lives of people in the Dum mountain area, increasing connectivity with neighboring areas.
The road is nearly 12 km long, worth more than 147 billion VND from World Bank loans under the Northern Mountainous Urban Program, constructed by Hoang Dan Investment and Construction Co., Ltd.
According to the design, the roadbed is 7m wide, the road surface is 5m wide, and some locations are built with guardrails and rock embankments to prevent landslides.
Completed at the end of 2022, but only after a short time of putting it into use, the road was littered with landslides and rocks, posing a potential risk of traffic unsafety.
PV's records in the first days of June 2026, dozens of jagged landslide points appeared on the entire route, soil and rocks were scattered and spilled onto the road and drainage ditches.
Some road surfaces and sidewalks are cracked and broken even though the traffic density on the route is quite sparse.
Large stone blocks slid and blocked the road. Both sides were overgrown with weeds, blocking visibility.
The surface of the cliffs is jagged, chiseled, and not reinforced, causing landslides and rolling rocks to appear continuously.
Mr. Nguyen Thanh An (Nong Tien ward) said that although this road has only been put into use for a few years, many landslide points have appeared. Especially the situation of large stone blocks blocking the road.
Every time it rains, soil and rocks from the embankment flap down and spill all over the road. One side is a mountain cliff, the other side is a deep abyss, so we are very worried every time we move through this area.
The road has many sharp bends, so it is very dangerous, especially when it rains or in the evening there is no electric light," Mr. An worried.
Also according to local people, the situation of rolling rocks appeared continuously, right from the time the road was officially opened to traffic, people saw landslides appear.
Along the entire route, many locations had to break rocky mountains to open roads, forming tens of meters high vertical positive taluy cliffs.
According to the Department of Construction of Tuyen Quang province, after operating the 2-level local government apparatus, the road from Tan Trao to Den Cam has been assigned to Nong Tien ward to be responsible for management.
Talking to PV, a representative of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Department of Nong Tien ward said that this unit has grasped information that the Tan Trao road to Den Cam is landslide and is conducting inspection and remediation.
