Immediately after the incident, the road management force was present to promptly fix the problem. However, due to the large amount of rocks, soil, and trees spilling onto the road, the repair work encountered many difficulties.
The Con Cuong District Road Management Department has mobilized machinery to the landslide site to fix it for several days now. However, due to the large volume of the landslide, three more excavators had to be sent to the scene. It is estimated that the road will be open to traffic around 4-5pm this afternoon, October 2.
