(KNSI) — The Minnesota Department of Transportation and Minnesota State Patrol reopened one westbound lane and both eastbound lanes of Highway 10 between Motley and Little Falls in Morrison County.
One lane of westbound Highway 10 remains closed until further notice due to water over the road. Motorists should reduce speeds, use caution, and obey road signs posted in the area. MnDOT says additional state, county, township, or city roads may be closed due to flooding in the area. They say drivers should give themselves extra time to get around and expect changes to what roads are open and closed.
The Randall area received over 12 inches of rain Thursday and Friday.
An alternate route for Highway 10 east/west travelers:
Westbound Highway 10: Highway 371 Little Falls to Highway 210 Brainerd/Baxter to Highway 10 Motley.
Little Falls to Randall travelers use Highway 115 to/from Highway 371 at Camp Ripley, Little Falls.
Travelers going to Detroit Lakes or Moorhead should consider Interstate 94.

When a road is closed, it is illegal to travel there. Motorists can be fined up to $1,000 and/or 90 days in jail. In addition, if travelers need to be rescued from a closed road, other expenses and penalties will apply.
