Previously, Lam Dong Newspaper, Radio and Television reported that after heavy rain, the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway, Km213, through Ham Liem commune, had erosion spots that created frog-shaped edges on the roadbed. The eroded part of the roadbed formed gullies. Some eroded sections penetrated deep into the roadbed, forming landslides, posing a potential danger to vehicles.

Construction Investment Joint Stock Company 886 - Thanh Nam is the unit assigned to manage and maintain the Vinh Hao - Phan Thiet expressway section. Afterwards, workers were sent to the scene to temporarily reinforce the edge of the roadbed by stacking sandbags on top of each other.
