National Highway 15 has a "stream" section
After each prolonged heavy rain, National Highway 15 through Khanh Son commune (Nam Dan) turns into a stream with red mud flowing.

| National Highway 15 through Khanh Son commune was heavily flooded after heavy rain. |
Rainwater from Tret mountain in hamlet 6 (Khanh Son) poured down, carrying rocks and soil that clogged the drains, causing the water to freeze strongly on the road, in many places 30-40 cm deep.
When the rain stopped and the water receded, a mass of rock and soil was swept away by the water and lay scattered on the road, causing traffic jams.

If heavy rain continues to occur, the risk of landslides from Tret Mountain will continue. People need to be more vigilant, take precautions, and minimize accident risks.
