On July 27, according to information from the Traffic Police Department of Nghe An Province Police, due to the serious landslides caused by prolonged floods, the authorities decided to temporarily suspend all heavy-duty truck transportation of ores on National Highway 7A - the main route passing through mountainous districts such as Ky Son and Tuong Duong.
This move was made after the Traffic Police force coordinated with the Customs, Traffic Inspectorate and local authorities to assess the site and found that many landslides had not been repaired, the road surface was covered with mud and soil, posing a potential risk of accidents.
A representative of Road Traffic Police Team No. 2 said that before that, some ore trucks had promptly moved downstream when the floodwaters receded. However, there are still 4 vehicles stuck in Huu Kiem and Muong Xen communes. These vehicles are required to not circulate until safety conditions are ensured.
The ban on vehicles carrying ores is to protect the safety of transport vehicles themselves, while giving absolute priority to rescue, relief and relief goods transportation to flood areas.
Currently, a series of vehicles carrying essential goods and necessities of volunteer groups are lining up to enter heavily damaged communes such as My Ly, Nhon Mai, and Tuong Duong. Many areas that have been isolated for many days have begun to access relief sources in the spirit of " speeding up", not letting people go hungry after the flood.
Long, bulky and bulky trucks carrying ores have been identified as being able to hinder relief work. Therefore, strictly managing vehicle traffic at this time is an urgent requirement to ensure smooth traffic, serving emergency tasks after natural disasters.
Dozens of points on National Highway 7A are still waiting to be fixed. The image of the country scattered with rocks and soil after the flood and the convoys of relief vehicles crossing the stream to the remote area clearly shows the spirit of sharing and solidarity of the community in times of hardship.
