Due to the unstable slopes caused by a strong earthquake on July 2, 2024, the Suhua Highway faces the risk of rockslides or mudslides during heavy rain. Scholars indicate that stabilizing the loose soil and rocks may take at least a decade, with most debris falling from high mountains making it hard to prevent. Authorities have instructed immediate repairs at disaster-prone spots when rain reaches 80% of previous levels. Experts emphasize the need for long-term planning to prevent road collapses and landslides, highlighting the urgency of the Suhua Highway Safety Enhancement Project.
