ALTURA. Minn. — To replace a culvert, the main route connecting Altura downhill through Kieffer Coulee to the Whitewater River at Elba will be closed beginning Monday. The project is expected to take to mid-January. Box culverts are being laid to carry an unnamed creek under State Road 26 from the area of the Pork & Plants organic farm and floral nursery.
