社会｜国道に水たまり、心配の声続出 / Society | Puddles on the national highway raise concerns.

Summary

It has been reported that a puddle that has not dried for over two months has formed along National Route 10 between Kagoshima City and Aira City.

Users have expressed concerns about potential landslides. According to experts, heavy rainfall has caused the water channels in the mountains to become clogged with sediment, resulting in a continuous flow of water. JR Kyushu and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism have indicated their intention to remove the sediment.
