Mr. Le Hong Hai - Director of Binh Tri Thien Railway Joint Stock Company - confirmed that at 5:00 p.m. on October 29, the railway damage incident in Vinh Linh district (Quang Tri province) had been resolved.
"The ship has cleared the route" - Mr. Le Hong Hai said.
After the train clears the route, the units will continue to reinforce the damaged areas due to the flood. To fix the damage, about 150 workers have been working hard for the past 2 days.
Previously, due to the impact of storm Tra Mi (storm No. 6), on the evening of October 27, water flooded the railway and affected the railway infrastructure, disrupting train operations. After the water receded, it was noted that stations 1, 3 and N2, N4 were flooded, and the upper floors were damaged.
In particular, from Sa Lung station to the South, the section from Km 587 +300 to Km 589 was flooded and caused erosion and drifting of the rock foundation in many sections. The eroded roadbed caused the railway to drift to the left of the line for a length of about 350m, the largest point drifting was 3.9m from the center of the old track.
