Landslides and erosion disrupt roads in Da Nang and Dong Nai

Heavy rainfall has caused significant landslides and erosion in several Vietnamese regions, impacting local transportation and safety.

In Da Nang, a landslide occurred on the DH7 NTM road in Tra Linh commune following prolonged heavy rain. Approximately 40 cubic meters of earth and rock fell from a slope, creating a 15-meter long blockage that prevented motor vehicles from passing between the commune center and Konpin village. Local military authorities have deployed warning signs and instructed residents to use alternative routes to ensure safety.

In Dong Nai, the Doc Khi area in Phuoc Son commune is facing severe soil erosion. The red dirt road, situated between high earthen cliffs, has become highly unstable with deep ruts and scattered rocks. This route is essential for hundreds of local workers involved in rubber tapping and farming, who now face significant risks while navigating the uneven and narrow terrain.
