The Khanh Hoa Provincial Department of Construction warned that weather conditions on the pass remain complicated, with heavy rain posing potential safety risks. Therefore, road users are recommended to limit travel during rainfall, drive slowly, carefully observe road conditions, and strictly comply with traffic signs and traffic diversion plans at construction sites.

The provincial traffic police force and the People’s Committee of Nam Khanh Vinh Commune have deployed forces to conduct regular patrols and traffic control to ensure smooth and safe traffic during the repair period.

As reported by Sai Gon Giai Phong Newspaper, following the landslide on the evening of November 16 that killed six people and injured 19 others, the entire Khanh Le Pass recorded around 100 landslide points, more than 50 of which were completely blocked. The Khanh Hoa provincial authorities declared a natural disaster emergency.
