On February 27th, at around 1:00 p.m., there was a landslide on National Highway 8A in the Eo Co Gai bridge area of Son Kim 1 commune, Huong Son district, Ha Tinh province. This was caused by continuous rainfall which caused rocks and trees from high cliffs to collapse and flood the area, covering tens of meters of the highway.
Fortunately, no people or vehicles were affected by the landslide. However, traffic was disrupted on the route leading to the Cau Treo International Border Gate.
The Cau Treo International Border Gate Border Guard Station quickly dispatched officers and soldiers to the scene. They coordinated with other functional forces to divide channels and regulate traffic. They also placed warning signs to ensure the safety of people and vehicles at both ends of the landslide location.
The functional forces immediately mobilized human resources and vehicles to handle, overcome, and clear the landslide at the scene. The area was affected by rain, cold, dense fog, and many layers of muddy mud spread across the road surface. However, National Highway 8A has since reopened to traffic, and functional units continue to clean up the scene.
It’s worth noting that on February 25th, there was also a serious landslide at Km82+300 due to prolonged rain. More than 1,000m³ of rocks and trees poured down from high cliffs, causing congestion on National Highway 8A.
