Update: Highway 67 east of Granite Falls closes to traffic
WILLMAR, Minn. —Highway 67, four miles east of Highway 23 in Granite Falls, is now closed to traffic as crews begin emergency repair work to a slide area damaged by heavy rains.
Motorists traveling on Highway 67 will be detoured to Highway 23, Highway 274, Yellow Medicine County Road 18, Yellow Medicine County Road 21, and back to Highway 67.
The project consists of stabilizing the stream bank of Hazel Creek and reconstructing 300 feet of Highway 67. Heavy rains received this summer and early fall saturated the underlying soils and caused Hazel Creek to erode part of the slope supporting Highway 67. The surface of the road slipped approximately 12 inches in some locations.
