Cam Mountain road to re-open after accident

AN GIANG — The road leading to the top of the Cam Mountain, a tourist attraction in the Cuu Long (Mekong) Delta province of An Giang, reopened to traffic on Monday, two weeks after it had been blocked because of fatal accident that killed six passengers on a bus.

Ngo Hong Yen, chairman of the Tinh Bien District People's Committee, said the road would open for temporary operations between 6.30 to 15.30 every day for transporting food and consumer goods to residents on the mountain.

Yen said it would take another week to complete clearance of rocks that could cause accidents in the area. District authorities will carry out checks to ensure absolute safety before asking provincial authroities to resume normal operations on the road again, he added. — VNS
