(Baonghean.vn) - The amount of mud and soil that has spilled onto the road is so large that the central road of Muong Xen town (Ky Son) is still unable to be opened to traffic, despite the support of human resources and vehicles from localities and military units...

| By the late afternoon of October 3, although machinery and equipment were operating at full capacity, the amount of mud, rocks and trees on the main road of Muong Xen town was still about 1km away from traffic. Photo: Thanh Cuong |
 |
| There are sections of road where the mud is over 1 meter thick and slippery, making it more difficult for excavators to dig up the soil. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
 |
| In addition to the mud on the road surface, there is also mud from people's houses and government agencies that is being scooped and pulled out by the forces, making the volume even larger, forcing the road clearance work to slow down. Photo: Xuan Hoang |

| This location was formerly the Hoa Son spillway bridge, which was invested in and built by the state in 2020, but floodwaters have washed it away without a trace. Photo: Thanh Cuong |

| There are sections of water that are too deep to wade through, so locals use bamboo poles to cross them. Photo: Hoai Thu |

| Mr. Tho Ba Re - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ky Son district said: The urgent task at this time is to make efforts to clear the road and provide relief goods to the people. Although the district mobilized the maximum number of excavators, along with the support of units, localities, police and military forces to clear the road, but due to the thick volume of mud and soil, the road cannot be cleared in a day or two but may take many more days. In addition, the road from Muong Xen town to Tay Son commune also had many landslides, but machinery and vehicles could not enter to handle it. Photo: Xuan Hoang |
