On August 26, information from the People's Committee of Trung Ly commune (Muong Lat district, Thanh Hoa province) said that in the early morning of August 26, heavy rain caused serious landslides on Highway 15C passing through Ban Tao area.
A mass of soil and rocks on the hill fell down, blocking the road, making it impossible for vehicles to pass through this point.
By the morning of the same day, vehicles were still unable to circulate towards the center of Muong Lat district or vice versa, causing congestion.
Immediately after the incident, local authorities and functional forces mobilized human resources and machinery at the scene to fix the problem. Currently, landslide recovery work is still ongoing.
Previously, heavy rain also caused landslides and cracks in the road surface on National Highway 15C (section passing Na Tao village, Pu Nhi commune, Muong Lat district), affecting traffic on this National Highway.
