The location of the Eo Co Gai area is a place where landslides often occur. Most recently, on January 25, February 25, and February 27, serious landslides occurred in the Eo Co Gai area. Each landslide involved more than 1,000 m3 of rock, soil, and trees falling from the high mountains, blocking the road... |

Many locations also experience frequent landslides due to weak geology when it rains heavily for many days. Therefore, drivers traveling through the route are always in a state of uncertainty. |

"When driving through landslide-prone areas such as the Co Gai area, I am always afraid, especially during times of prolonged rain. To ensure safety, I often proactively observe, drive slowly, turn on the fog lights and honk to signal oncoming vehicles," said driver Tran Van Minh (residing in Hong Linh town). |

According to recommendations from authorities, in addition to proactively taking measures to prevent landslides and dense fog, drivers need to arrange appropriate driving hours and not travel at night to ensure safety. |
