Phu Tho - After nearly 1 year of landslides caused by Typhoon Yagi, National Highway 70B has not been repaired, posing a potential risk of accidents as traffic volume is increasing.

In early July 2025, reporters of Lao Dong Newspaper recorded the actual landslides and subsidence points on National Highway 70B, passing through Bun hamlet, the old Yen Mong commune (now Tan Hoa ward).

Due to the impact of storm No. 3 (Yagi), lasting from September 6 to September 13, 2024, on National Highway 70B, negative slope landslides occurred at 2 locations: Km138+360 and Km139+080. Up to now, the damaged points have not been repaired.

At the culvert location across the road - about 30m from the Bun Hamlet Cultural House - the roadbed was seriously eroded. The negative slope continues to be eroded deeply, forming a frog's jaw close to the edge of the road. The scene was only temporarily covered with a few bamboo sticks planted close to the edge. The already narrow road is now even more dangerous.

Ms. Bui Thi Binh, a resident living near this location, said: "The road surface was already narrow, and after the landslide, it became even narrower, so the two cars could not avoid each other. After the merger of provinces, there are many vehicles transporting civil servants and public employees to new provinces to work, so the risk of insecurity is very high. We hope to repair it soon so that we can travel less worriedly.

Not far from the landslide location is a subsidence section about 20m long, located right at a hidden curve. The crack was longer and wider than the adult's hand, causing the iron fence to tilt. After nearly a year of not being repaired, this area is now only poorly covered with a warning sign "The road is eroded - dangerous". On the road, there is a subsidence longer than 2m, creating a steps about 20cm high, which is very dangerous for vehicles.

Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, Secretary of the Bun hamlet Party Cell, said: "This is a dangerous curve, and it sinks deeply, and people unfamiliar with the road can easily fall. Fortunately, there have been no serious accidents, but after the merger, the number of people coming to work here has doubled or tripled. We have petitioned many times, there are teams to survey and drill geology but so far there have been no repairs".

Speaking to reporters, Mr. Tran Trung Hieu, Head of the Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Department of Tan Hoa Ward, said: Immediately after the newly merged ward came into operation, we organized meetings with voters and recorded existing problems in the area. The two damaged points on National Highway 70B due to the impact of storm No. 3 are very urgent and need to be repaired." Mr. Hieu said that the locality will continue to petition competent authorities for consideration and repair to ensure traffic safety.

In reality, both the landslide and subsidence points are located on the main road connecting the old Hoa Binh area with the new provincial center after the merger. This route currently not only serves local people but is also the main axis for cadres, civil servants and public employees to go to work every day. The delay in repair lasted nearly a year, causing the roadbed to continue to erode, posing a potential risk of spreading and traffic accidents, especially during the rainy and stormy season.
