More than 100 landslides in Muong Tip commune (Nghe An) after storm No. 3, hindering vehicles from entering and cleaning up Ta Do village.
Storm No. 3 and its aftermath caused severe damage to the transport infrastructure in Muong Tip commune of Nghe An province. Provincial Road 543D from Muong Xen commune to the old Muong Ai commune headquarters was eroded, and the negative slope along the Nam Mo river was severely eroded.
On provincial road 543D, through Ta Do village, soil, rocks, and mud are overflowing along both sides of the road and currently the road clearance is only done by manual tools, making the road narrow and difficult to travel. Just a little rain, the huge amount of soil, rocks, and mud around will bury the road again.
Route from the commune People's Committee headquartersMuong TipAlong the 15km long road to the old Muong Ai Commune People's Committee headquarters, there are up to 20 heavily eroded spots. At the landslide spots, the negative slope on the Nam Mo River side has lost half of the road surface.
The 4km section from Muong Tip Commune People's Committee headquarters to Ta Do village has 15 points with severe landslides on the positive slope, and half of the negative slope along Nam Mo River has also been eroded.
Commune roadsMuong Tipalso suffered heavy landslides: The road to the two resettlement areas of Vang Phao and Co My, more than 13 km long, had 30 landslides; the section from Xop Phong village to Ai Khe cluster, Huoi Khe village, more than 10 km long, had 2 broken sections and many landslides; the road to the old Huoi Khoi, Huoi Phe, old Cha Lat, Huoi Khi villages, with a total length of more than 18 km, had 40 landslides.
To gradually overcome the consequences, recently Muong Tip commune has mobilized machinery, all forces of the commune's agencies, police, border guards, forces of Na Ngoi commune to support and people from the villages in the area to repair roads, dredge, clear rocks, fallen trees to clear traffic... At the points where rocks fell, Muong Tip commune organized to build fences, set up checkpoints to prevent people and vehicles from passing, and put up warning signs for people to know and avoid.
Muong Tip Commune has also actively coordinated with the Provincial Road Management Unit 543D to fix landslides, focus human resources and prioritize vehicles to clear motorbike roads so that supply forces can access affected areas more easily.
As of August 7, the entire provincial road 543D has basically been cleared, motorbikes and high-chassis cars can travel. However, people traveling on the road also need to be extremely careful, because there are still potential safety risks due to the possibility of continued landslides and falling rocks...
To ensure traffic safety, Muong Tip commune is requesting all levels and sectors to direct the management unit of route 543D to increase human resources and machinery to continue construction, handle landslides and road loss points; create conditions for vehicles to clean up and transport large volumes of soil and rocks that are burying Ta Do village... In particular, there is a solution to overcome the section of route Km70 +400 (Xop Tip village area) that often has landslides and rolling rocks, which is very dangerous./.
