Previously, to build a path heading to the North-South expressway’s overpass at the stretch passing through the Mai Son Expressway and the National Highway No.45, the contractor exploded a mine to remove rocks impacting on the structure of the Gieng Mountain. The explosion results in the appearance of long horizontal cracks along with a high risk of rock fall and bouncing rocks, especially under the weather conditions of downpours, on the roof of the slopes in both left and right sides.
