Road Closure
In spring 2019, MnDOT closed a portion of Hwy 67 between Granite Falls and Echo. The roadway is built along a slope near a bend in the Yellow Medicine River. The roadway is unstable due to movement of the earth underneath the roadway. The road will remain closed through 2020. Please refer to the detour map below.
