Due to prolonged heavy rain, in the early morning of September 29, a large amount of rock and soil about 300 m³collapsed and buried a 100m long section of road at km 148+100 of National Highway 48E, through Tan Long commune, Tan Ky district.

Immediately after the landslide occurred, leaders of Tan Ky district, functional departments and representatives of Nghe An Department of Transport were present promptly to direct road closures, traffic diversions and discuss plans to handle the incident.

However, because the huge natural rock block blocks the entire width of the road, it cannot be handled in the usual way.

With the support of the Department of Transport and the active coordination of the Party Committee and the authorities of Tan Ky district, many options were proposed, the specialized units carefully considered and calculated and decided to use the PC600 crawler excavator to break rocks and clear the ground. This part of the work was carried out by Nghe An Waterway and Road Traffic Construction and Management Joint Stock Company.

On the morning of October 2, Tan Ky continued to have heavy rain, large volumes of rocks, and hard structures, making rock breaking difficult. Currently, the unit is making efforts to complete the site clearance as soon as possible to ensure smooth and safe traffic on National Highway 48E through Tan Long Commune, Tan Ky District.
