The landslide occurred after heavy rain on August 17-18, when a large amount of soil and rock from the uphill embankment collapsed onto the road, disrupting traffic.
Authorities identified two landslide sites and mobilised workers and machinery to clear debris and ensure the safety of motorists.
They are also inspecting the uphill and downhill slopes along the route to assess conditions and develop measures to address areas at risk of further landslides.
