Notably, at km85+360 on National Highway 14E, section 1, Phuoc Hoa commune, a rock about 10m in diameter slid down to the edge of the road, right at the beginning of Dak Mi 1 bridge, causing the bridge abutment to shift.

Phuoc Son District Police have assigned officers and soldiers to block both ends of the bridge, regulate and guide vehicles not to cross the bridge; at the same time, they have requested to place notice signs so that vehicles traveling on National Highway 14E from Hiep Duc and Lang Hoi intersection, Ho Chi Minh road do not travel to this area to avoid congestion and danger.

Phuoc Son District also discussed with the Quang Nam Department of Transport to assess the bridge's load to have a solution to ensure safety.
