Heavy rain and strong winds due to the influence of storm Tra Mi caused the water level of Vu Giang river to rise early this afternoon, crossing DT609 route with a depth of 0.7m, causing traffic congestion at km33+100, in Dai Dong commune (Dai Loc district). Many places had trees falling onto the road.

At the time the Department of Transport leaders went to inspect the site, the rain had stopped so the water level of Vu Gia River had receded, vehicles could pass through the route km33+100. At the most severe landslide point of DT609 route (Ma Cooih commune), Dong Phong Consulting and Construction Joint Stock Company (the contractor in charge of management and regular maintenance) mobilized human resources and machinery to the scene to clear the site and ensure traffic flow before 5:00 p.m. the same day.

At the scene, Mr. Van Anh Tuan directed the road management unit to continue to arrange equipment to clear the remaining landslide tomorrow, ensuring smooth traffic. Pay attention to clearing drainage ditches so that the flow does not impact and tear the roadbed.

The leaders of the Department of Transport also directed the Quang Nam Traffic Infrastructure Management Center to request the investor of the An Diem - A So road project (part of the DT609 route) to request the contractor who is constructing the leveling project to ensure traffic at the points where the roadbed has collapsed and rocks have spilled onto the road so that people can travel conveniently and safely.
