Landslides in Lạng Sơn province

Landslides have caused significant disruptions and safety risks in Lạng Sơn province, affecting both major transportation routes and residential areas.

On National Highway 4B, connecting Lạng Sơn and Quảng Ninh, soil and rock shifts have obstructed the roadway. In Lộc Bình commune, debris has flowed onto the surface between kilometer 12 and kilometer 16, with some sections of the road nearly covered. Authorities have responded by installing warning signs, cordoning off sections, and using concrete barriers, while tasking maintenance units with clearing mud and reinforcing high-risk slopes.

Simultaneously, residents in An Hung village, Na Sam commune, are facing threats along National Highway 4A. Unstable hillsides and cracked terrain have caused collapses into deep ravines, endangering homes located beneath the slopes. Mitigation efforts in these residential areas have been described as limited, involving the use of tarps rather than permanent concrete reinforcement. Local residents have reported significant damage to their homes due to the ongoing landslides.
