According to the Cua Lo Ward People’s Committee, the typhoon made landfall in Nghe An on September 28-29, causing serious damage to the local sea wall system.
Five sections of the embankment, stretching nearly 600 metres in total, were destroyed along the 4.3-kilometre-long coastal protection line. Another 1.1-kilometre section, built in 2022 with an investment of over VND 40 billion (approximately USD 1.6 million), was also heavily damaged.
At the site, concrete slopes and walkway tiles were shattered and displaced, while the embankment base broke into segments. Erosion underneath created large cavities, with some sections of the base sinking by around half a metre.
Another 40-metre section of the embankment, completed earlier in 2024, also suffered serious damage. The slope collapsed, and the base was lifted and cracked.
Hoang Minh Tho, deputy head of the Cua Lo Ward Office of Economics, Infrastructure and Urban Development, said the ward has submitted a request to the provincial authorities for emergency funding to repair the damaged sea walls ahead of the 2026 tourism season.
