In Nghe An Province, authorities successfully reopened Provincial Road 543D on Friday afternoon after a landslide caused by heavy rainfall, according to local police. Major Tran Danh Hoa, Deputy Chief of Muong Tip Commune Police, stated that officers worked with local authorities to clear debris along the important transportation route, allowing traffic to resume.
Intense rains in Muong Tip Commune over several days resulted in multiple landslides, dropping rocks and soil onto roads and creating significant safety concerns. On Friday morning, August 8, a large rockfall on Provincial Road 543D in Xop Tip Village completely blocked the road, cutting off transportation. In response, local police, commune officials, and grassroots security forces established a hazard zone, placed warning signs, and rerouted traffic along alternate paths.
To speed up the clearing process, police brought in heavy machinery from a nearby construction site 7 kilometers away. By 1:00 p.m. that same day, the obstructed section was largely cleared and reopened for traffic. However, the ongoing rainfall continues to pose the risk of secondary landslides on Provincial Road 543D. Police have personnel stationed at vulnerable spots to monitor conditions and uphold traffic safety.
Authorities caution residents to stay informed about weather alerts, avoid landslide-prone areas, and follow safety guidelines from relevant authorities.
