By around 5 p.m. the same day, the construction unit had temporarily fixed a subsided section of the road, allowing vehicles to start moving again. However, traffic remained slow and backed up for an extended period.

Previously, National Highway 28B had repeatedly faced congestion, especially during the Tet holiday peak, causing significant travel difficulties.

National Highway 28B is an important route connecting the South Central Coast with Lam Dong. In recent years, traffic volume has surged following the opening of the Phan Thiet–Dau Giay Expressway, increasing pressure on infrastructure that is still under renovation.
