The Lam Dong Department of Transport has announced restrictions on vehicle traffic to address landslide points on Bao Loc Pass, located on National Highway 20, passing through Bao Loc City and Da Huoai District, Lam Dong Province.
For vehicles traveling through Bao Loc Pass, restrictions are scheduled to last from today (August 20) until August 30. The restriction hours will be from 7:00 AM to 11:30 AM and from 1:00 PM to 5:30 PM daily . During these times, traffic flow through the area will be regulated accordingly.
Previously, the Road Technical Center 4 under Road Management Zone IV also issued a notice to relevant agencies, units, and localities in Lam Dong Province regarding traffic regulation on Bao Loc Pass during geotechnical survey drilling. The drilling is part of the design work to address 12 landslide points on Bao Loc Pass. Starting from August 20, the construction unit will conduct geotechnical drilling at Km103+145m and Km104+094.
Bao Loc Pass, approximately 10 kilometers long, is part of National Highway 20 and serves as a vital connection between Da Lat–Lam Dong and the southeastern provinces. The pass is prone to landslides during the rainy season; notably, a severe landslide at the end of July 2023 resulted in the deaths of four people.
In March of this year, the Lam Dong Provincial People’s Committee also issued a document requesting the Vietnam Road Administration to expedite investments and address landslide points on National Highway 20 and Bao Loc Pass to ensure safe travel during this year’s rainy season.
