Completed handling of landslide at Nguoc mountain (Thanh Chuong)

At the scene, large rocks that were once hanging have now been completely removed, and the entire foot of the mountain has been firmly reinforced.

Mr. Nguyen Minh Hai, a driver who regularly runs the Vinh - Thanh Chuong route, shared: "Before, when passing through here, we were always afraid of landslides. Now that Nguoc Mountain has been treated to be safer, we feel more secure."

Nguoc Mountain is located in Thanh Ngoc and Ngoc Son communes, Thanh Chuong district. This area has a rugged terrain, with high mountains on one side and deep rivers on the other. In recent years, serious landslides have occurred, threatening traffic safety.

Faced with this situation, the Vietnam Road Administration has directed the implementation of the Project "Handling landslides on the KM39+200 - KM39+750 section of National Highway 46B" invested by the Road Administration Department II. The project focuses on thoroughly handling landslides and rockfalls on Nguoc Mountain. The slopes are cut in layers, creating 8-12m high slopes with 5-6 slopes depending on the terrain.

At the same time, two dangerous curves were also repaired, the road surface at the foot of the mountain was widened and stone cages were built along the slopes to ensure safety for people and vehicles. A protective guardrail system was also installed along the Lam River.

A representative of Thanh Chuong District People's Committee said that National Highway 46B is a vital traffic route connecting the district with Vinh City and neighboring areas. Completion of the landslide treatment project not only ensures traffic safety but also promotes local socio-economic development.
