Minor landslide occurred at Prenn Pass after hailstorm

Several serious landslides happened in Lâm Đồng Province in 2023, killing nine in total.

The section was newly upgraded and went into operation before the Lunar New Year this year, on January 31. 

Local police have erected a warning sign at one of the two lanes that lead to the entry point of the pass.

Nguyễn Văn Sơn, vice chairman of Đà Lạt City People’s Committee said that only a small amount of soil was eroded and did not pose threats to motorists.

However, local authorities are taking measures to prevent further erosion during the rainy season, he said. 

The pass is considered an important route connecting Đà Lạt City to Liên Khương International  Airport, as well as the upcoming Dầu Giây-Liên Khương Expressway that linked Lâm Đồng Province to HCM City and other southern provinces. 

Prior to the upgrade project, Prenn Pass regularly experienced traffic congestion during the holidays.
