According to observations, a large amount of soil, rocks and trees from the mountain were eroded by water and flowed down, breaking the concrete embankment on the positive slope and spilling onto the road. Currently, because water from the mountain is still flowing down, the landslide is still ongoing.

Road Management Company 470 (the unit that manages and maintains this road section) and the authorities went directly to the scene to inspect and develop a solution.

Mr. Nguyen Tho Luong - Deputy Director of Road Management Company 470 said that after many days of heavy rain, water poured down from the mountain causing a landslide. After conducting an inspection, the unit sent a report to the Road Management Department 2. Temporarily let the force monitor the landslide situation, wait until the rain stops to come up with a plan to build a service road for machines to level the mountain, reduce the slope and handle the water flowing down from the mountain./.
