Heavy rains caused floodwaters from the Ta Trach River to surge and sweep away the Le No Bridge in Khe Tre commune (Hue City), cutting off access to thousands of households. In the inner city of Hue, many streets were deeply submerged, forcing residents to use small boats and rafts to navigate flooded areas.

On the afternoon of October 27, authorities in Khe Tre commune, an upstream area of Hue City, reported that prolonged heavy rainfall led to a powerful influx of floodwater from upstream. This surge collapsed a section of Le No Bridge – a vital lifeline connecting the commune center with surrounding residential areas, effectively isolating thousands of people.

Initial information confirmed that the incident occurred around noon. Continuous downpours caused the Ta Trach River to rise rapidly and flow violently. The reinforced concrete bridge spanning the river could not withstand the force of the water and was completely swept away.

According to local residents, Le No Bridge served as the main route connecting Residential Group 3, Phu Mau hamlet, and K4 hamlet to the central road of Khe Tre commune. Its destruction has left the area nearly cut off, making transportation and access to essential supplies extremely difficult.

Immediately after receiving reports, local authorities and emergency personnel arrived at the scene, cordoning off both ends of the collapsed bridge, placing warning signs, and advising residents not to enter the landslide-prone area for their safety.

At the same time, heavy rainfall continued across Hue City throughout the afternoon, causing widespread flooding that submerged many urban roads and disrupted traffic.

On Le Duan Street, water levels rose to about one meter. Authorities strung safety ropes and restricted access for both vehicles and pedestrians.

Residents were seen using small boats to cross heavily flooded sections of Le Duan Street and other areas in the city center.

On Phu Xuan Bridge, rescue teams remained on standby for several hours, ready to respond to emergencies. In the area of Cua Ngan Street – the main entrance to the Hue Imperial Citadel – floodwaters rushed violently, affecting numerous restaurants and tourism-related businesses.

The entire city center was inundated, with floodwaters rushing through residential and commercial zones, turning everyday travel into a major challenge.
