Specifically, authorities have temporarily halted traffic from downtown Da Lat toward Khanh Hoa Province along National Highway 27C. Drivers heading to Khanh Hoa are advised to take alternative routes: from central Da Lat, follow National Highway 20 (via Mimosa Pass) to the Phi Nom T-junction, then turn left onto National Highway 27 toward Khanh Hoa, and vice versa.

Travelers may also opt for a second route: from downtown Da Lat, take provincial road DT.725 (via Ta Nung Pass) to Km31+020, then turn right onto National Highway 27 toward Dak Lak Province before continuing along National Highway 26 to reach Khanh Hoa, and the same routes apply in the opposite direction.

Additionally, travelers may choose a third route: from downtown Da Lat, follow National Highway 20 (via Mimosa Pass) to Dong Nai Province, then continue on National Highway 1A to reach Khanh Hoa, and vice versa. However, authorities note that this route requires significantly more travel time.
