At the scene, we saw a giant rock falling down from a high mountain.blocking Highway 48Esection through Tan Long commune (Tan Ky). Machines are working at full capacity to drill rocks.

A representative of Nghe An Waterway and Road Traffic Management and Construction Joint Stock Company said: The volume of rock that collapsed in this area is quite large, about over 6,500 m³, including a large rock block over 200 m³blocking the road. Currently, the unit has used a PC600 crawler excavator and a large drill to actively break the rock, working from 6am to 10pm.

Because the rock is large and very hard, from October 1 to noon October 3, only 45-50 m could be drilled.³rock. As expected, at this drilling speed it will take about 3-5 days to clear the road.

However, the most dangerous thing now is that there are many boulders on top of the mountain.hanging stone"giant" size from 150-200 m³is located halfway up the mountain, at risk of rolling down at any time. In the long term, it is necessary to handle the hanging rock to ensure the safety of people and vehicles.

Currently, the district has arranged 3 passenger cars to transport students from the above communes to school because the distance is too far. The district has proposed to the relevant departments to study and have a plan to break the rocks faster to clear the road for people to travel conveniently and stabilize their lives.
