Part of Highway 105 is under water south of Austin near the Iowa border, but the road is still open to traffic.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation reported runoff from a field was covering part of the highway between Mower County State Aid Highways 4 and 5 near the Cedar River Cemetery about five miles north of the Iowa border.
MnDOT maintenance crews were on site and placed signs warning drivers to slow down when driving through the stretch of highway.
Drivers should slow when approaching the area and follow directions from signs and MnDOT maintenance crews, who are on site at both ends of the affected portion of the highway in Mower County.
