Its 11:22 a.m. report today said that the river was at 27.9 feet, which is 1.4 feet higher than yesterday. Flood stage is 25 feet.

The Scott County Road 9 and Carver County Road 45 river crossing between Sand Creek and San Francisco townships has been closed for two days.

Water levels there have risen more than 1 foot a day lately, and aren't expected to stop rising until Wednesday, when the weather service predicts a decrease of almost 1 foot in the water level.

It is at 5.8 feet, which is 0.3 feet lower than yesterday. Flood stage on Sand Creek is 10 feet.

Homes are not threatened, city officials said.
