HCMC – Authorities are racing to clear landslides on the Mimosa and D’Ran passes in Lam Dong Province, aiming to reopen them to traffic by November 30.
According to an update released at 7 a.m. today, November 28, 15 locations remain blocked. Of these, 12 are on National Highway 27C in Khanh Hoa Province, while three are in Lam Dong Province—one on National Highway 27C and two on National Highway 20.
Khanh Hoa still has 12 blocked sections on National Highway 27C. Five were previously identified, three have been cleared, and 10 new slides have emerged following heavy rains. Most blockages were caused by soil saturation and collapsed slopes along steep terrain. The province expects to reopen one lane along the entire route before December 4.
In Lam Dong, three locations remain impassable. A landslide at Km65+800–Km66+00 on National Highway 27C is being cleared, with local authorities targeting reopening today.
Another landslide on the Mimosa Pass section of National Highway 20 is being handled by Project Management Unit 85 and is expected to reopen on November 30.
A third blockage on the D’Ran Pass is also under clearance. One lane is expected to reopen on November 30, with full removal of debris slated for December 15.
Road management agencies, local authorities, and emergency forces are working under the on-site emergency response principle, focusing on removing debris, reinforcing unstable slopes, clearing drainage routes, repairing damaged roadbeds, and installing safety barriers and warning signs. Priority is being given to restoring traffic at blocked sections to support relief operations and ensure mobility for local residents.
Since November 20, provincial construction departments have mobilized around 160 vehicle deployments—including buses, trucks, cranes, and dump trucks—to transport relief goods, support rescue operations, and assist residents in heavily affected areas.
