Clip: Many traffic routes in Ca Mau are still cut off after 1 year of subsidence.

The People's Committee of Tran Van Thoi District (Ca Mau Province) said that the district still has more than 50 roads with more than 160 landslides and subsidence points from last year's dry season that have not been repaired. The estimated cost of repair is more than 10 billion VND.

In 2024, the southern bank of Quang Hao canal (Binh Minh 2 hamlet, Tran Hoi commune, Tran Van Thoi district) is a "hot spot" for land subsidence due to drought, and the road along the canal is also cut off with many landslides.

The southern bank of Quang Hao canal is only about 1km long, but there are more than 30 subsidence and landslide locations.

Traffic on the southern bank of Quang Hao canal has been completely cut off since early February 2024 and has not yet been restored.

Mr. Bui Vu Linh (residing in Binh Minh 2 hamlet, Tran Hoi commune) said that the Quang Hao canal has just been invested by the locality into a rural traffic route of more than 3m wide, creating favorable conditions for people to travel and live. However, the joy has not been complete for a year because of landslides and subsidence (early 2024). For more than a year now, people here have been living in a situation where traffic is cut off, goods circulation is difficult, and children have difficulty going to school.

For over a year now, people living along the eroded and subsided canal have had to travel by boat to the opposite bank.

The road in front of Ms. Son Thi Huyen's house (residing in Binh Minh 2 hamlet) collapsed into the river for more than a year. Previously, she had a coffee shop that brought in a small amount of income every day, but this year the road has collapsed, no one has passed by, and the coffee shop has had to stop operating.

Currently, the water level on the rivers in Tran Van Thoi district is still convenient for vehicles to repair the road. When the rainy season comes (late May, early June), the water level rises, making it more difficult to repair the landslide road.

According to the authorities of Ca Mau province, the main cause of subsidence and landslides in Tran Van Thoi district in recent years is due to the deep canal bottom. In the dry season, the water in the canals decreases, causing the road surface and water surface to be more uneven, the land shrinks, leading to subsidence and landslides.
