Starting from 8 a.m. on January 31, all vehicles (excluding trucks) will be allowed to travel in both directions on Prenn Pass - Da Lat City, Lam Dong Province with a speed limit not exceeding 60 km/h.
On the morning of January 30, the People's Committee of Lam Dong Province issued an urgent document to relevant sides, agreeing circulation of vehicles on the Prenn Pass – Da Lat City. All vehicles (excluding trucks) will be allowed to travel in both directions on Prenn Pass - Da Lat City starting from 8 a.m. on January 31, with a speed limit not exceeding 60 km/h.
The Lam Dong Provincial People's Committee has directed the Provincial Police to establish traffic checkpoints on the mountain pass road, providing guidance to the public during the first days after the road’s reopening.
Simultaneously, two rescue vehicles have been arranged to be on standby 24/7, from February 10 to 12, 2024, positioned between Mimosa Pass and Prenn Pass to promptly address any emergencies or accidents.
After almost a year of construction, the project to upgrade and expand the Prenn Pass - Da Lat City route has been completed. The project to upgrade and expand Prenn Pass - Da Lat City commenced on February 10, 2023, with a total investment of VND553 billion.
During the recent New Year holiday, Prenn Pass was reopened for traffic but limited to daytime only as technical factors were not yet ensured. Recently, the Management Board of the Transportation Projects of Lam Dong Province announced that they have submitted a document requesting the Provincial Department of Transport to report to the Provincial People's Committee for approval to allow full traffic on Prenn Pass before the 2024 Lunar New Year.
The investment in upgrading and expanding Prenn Pass is crucial and urgent to address traffic congestion, ensure road safety, and make a breakthrough in the socio-economic development of Da Lat City in particular and Lam Dong province in general.
