Deo Prenn Reopened for Vehicle Access to Da Lat

On January 15, 2026, vehicles (excluding trucks) were allowed to resume traffic on the Prenn Pass, the main route leading into the heart of Đà Lạt. This marks a significant step forward in the ongoing efforts to restore the pass after it was severely damaged by landslides earlier this year. The reopening comes after months of intensive work by local authorities and construction teams to stabilize the route and ensure safe passage for residents and visitors alike.

According to local reports, only one section of the pass remains under repair at Km224+650, located in Xuân Hồng Ward, Đà Lạt. This area is currently being reinforced with barriers and other measures to prevent further landslides. Despite the progress, the road still bears the scars of the November 2025 landslide, which caused massive disruptions and forced the temporary closure of the pass.

For many locals, the Prenn Pass is more than just a road—it's a lifeline. It connects the city to the surrounding highlands and is a crucial artery for both daily commutes and tourism. 'The pass is like the veins of Đà Lạt,' said one local shopkeeper, who has relied on it for years to transport goods to the city center. 'Its reopening is a relief for everyone.'

The Department of Construction in Lâm Đồng Province and the Prenn Tunnel Company have been working tirelessly to restore the pass. Their efforts have included reinforcing the slopes and clearing debris, a task that has been complicated by heavy rains in recent months. 'We are committed to ensuring the safety of all road users,' said a spokesperson for the construction team. 'This is a priority for the local government.'

As the community breathes a sigh of relief, the reopening of the Prenn Pass is a sign of resilience and hope for the future of Đà Lạt.
