Ru Nguoc continues to erode, National Highway 46 through Thanh Chuong is closed to traffic

According to the reporter, on the morning of November 1, the police force was setting up checkpoints at both ends of National Highway 46, passing through Ru Nguoc (Thanh Chuong district). Vehicles approaching this area were asked to turn around and take a detour. The reason was that the soil and rocks on this mountain continued to slide down onto the road.

In particular, on the mountain there are still many large rocks lying precariously, waiting to fall onto the road at any time.
