Landslide on National Highway 7C poses potential traffic safety risks
Due to the impact of heavy rain last weekend, National Highway 7C through Do Luong and Tan Ky districts experienced many serious landslides, posing a potential risk to traffic safety.
At the scene, a large landslide occurred on National Highway 7C through Giang Son Dong Commune (Do Luong District). A large amount of rock and soil from the cliff poured onto the road, including many large rocks.
According to Tran Van Tuan, a driver who had just passed through this area, rocks and soil were still hanging high above and could continue to fall at any time, directly threatening people and vehicles. Observations showed that the cliff here continued to show signs of landslides, dragging down acacia trees, lying haphazardly on the mountainside.
In Ky Tan commune (Tan Ky district), soil from the cliff was washed away by water, creating a thick layer of mud that overflowed the drainage ditch and spread onto the roadway. This situation obstructed traffic and increased the risk of slipping and accidents, especially at night or when visibility was limited.
Although some sections of Tan Ky district have been reinforced with a system of rock cages, due to the high cliff terrain and the still complex weather, the risk of landslides remains high. In the face of this situation, the authorities need to urgently deploy remedial work, clear fallen rocks and soil, and install warning signs to ensure the safety of traffic participants.
