On September 24, Duc Long Dak Nong BOT and BT Joint Stock Company sent a report to the Department of Transport and related units about the landslide situation on the negative slope of Ho Chi Minh Road (National Highway 14), through Dak R'lap district.
Accordingly, the cracks on the negative slope at Km1936+080 on National Highway 14 are developing complicatedly. Currently, the cracks continue to widen, with a width of more than 1m and a depth of nearly 3m.
In the landslide area, there is a coffee shop and the house of Mr. Ngo Van Vinh (residing in Quang Tin commune, Dak R’lap district). The large landslide caused Mr. Vinh’s house to become crooked and deformed.
At Km1936+300 National Highway, on the negative slope side, more than 100m along the road continued to slide, with a depth of 1.5 - 2m compared to the old location.
The cracks are about 20m from the road and the deepest point is about 50m. Currently, BOT and BT Duc Long Dak Nong Joint Stock Company has dug to reduce the load on the sliding slope.
Near the two landslides above, is Trung Dung 1 gas station, located along National Highway 14. A landslide also occurred at this gas station. The landslide has sunk deeply, creating a fracture and subsidence more than 1 meter deep, stretching for dozens of meters.
The gas station owner dismantled his property on the landslide site and covered the cracks with tarps to prevent rainwater from seeping in.
However, the landslide is gradually extending beyond the foot of the embankment. Currently, the cracks are about 20m from the edge of Highway 14 and tend to become more complicated.
