Manitoba 511 Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Manitoba 511 cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
Manitoba 511 is the province's official source for highway conditions, and it carries a small but useful network of roadside cameras — on the order of 58 locations spread across a province where the population is concentrated in the south. These are still-image cameras that refresh at regular intervals rather than continuous video, and they cluster along the corridors that matter most to travellers: the Trans-Canada Highway (PTH 1) east and west of Winnipeg, the run south to the US border on PTH 75, and the main routes fanning out toward Brandon, Portage la Prairie, Dauphin and the north. Our live Manitoba camera map pulls these feeds into one fast, searchable view so you can scan the prairie ahead before you commit to the drive.
One thing to understand about Manitoba's cameras: the 511 system does not run its own road-weather sensors at each pole. Instead, each camera is paired with the nearest Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) weather-station reading — an air temperature and a wind value shown alongside the image. Treat that as a regional reading, not an on-road sensor. The nearest ECCC station can be some distance from the camera, so use the number for context (is it well below freezing, is the wind strong enough to lift snow) rather than as the exact temperature of the pavement in frame.
On the open prairie, the camera image is often the most honest signal you have. Manitoba winters bring ground blizzards and whiteouts that can shut the Trans-Canada and PTH 75 even when little new snow has fallen — wind alone lifts loose snow off the fields and erases visibility. Add some of the coldest temperatures of any large city on Earth around Winnipeg, plus spring flooding in the Red River Valley along PTH 75, and a quick look at the cameras before you leave is simply good prairie sense. Check the picture, check the nearest ECCC wind and temperature, and decide from there.

Province-wide
The full Manitoba 511 camera network in one view — roughly 58 locations from the Ontario border to the Saskatchewan line and south to the US crossing at Emerson. Most cameras sit along the major Provincial Trunk Highways (PTH) in the populated south, with a thinner scatter on the northern routes toward Dauphin, The Pas and Thompson. Use this as your starting point, then zoom to the corridor you're driving. Each image is paired with the nearest ECCC station's temperature and wind.
Winnipeg
Cameras in and around the capital, where well over half of Manitobans live. Coverage focuses on the Perimeter Highway (PTH 100/101) ring road and the approaches into the city from the Trans-Canada and PTH 75. Winnipeg is among the coldest large cities on Earth, and the open ground around the Perimeter is exposed to blowing snow, so the camera view here often tells you more than a downtown forecast. Pair each image with the nearest ECCC wind reading.
Trans-Canada West
The Trans-Canada Highway (PTH 1) running west from Winnipeg through Portage la Prairie, Brandon and Virden to the Saskatchewan border. This is wide-open prairie driving where ground blizzards and whiteouts can close the road even with little new snow. Cameras along this stretch let you check visibility section by section before you head out toward Saskatchewan. Westbound travellers continuing across the line can pick up the live Saskatchewan cameras.
Trans-Canada East
The Trans-Canada Highway (PTH 1) east of Winnipeg through Hadashville toward the Ontario border at Falcon Lake and West Hawk Lake, where the prairie gives way to the rock and lakes of the Canadian Shield. Conditions here can differ sharply from the open farmland to the west — more tree cover but also lake-effect snow and ice. Drivers crossing into Ontario can continue with the live Ontario cameras.
Highway 75 (US Border)
PTH 75 running south from Winnipeg through Morris to Emerson at the US border, where it continues as Interstate 29 into North Dakota. This is the flood-prone Red River Valley: dead-flat, exposed to fierce winter wind, and subject to spring closures when the Red River rises around Morris. Cameras along this corridor are essential in both blizzard season and flood season. Travellers heading south can pick up the live North Dakota cameras across the line.
Tips for using Manitoba road cameras
- The camera image is your ground truth on the prairie. A ground blizzard can close the Trans-Canada or PTH 75 with almost no new snow — wind lifts loose snow off the fields and drops visibility to zero. If the picture shows a wall of white, believe it over a forecast that only mentions a few centimetres.
- Read the ECCC reading as regional, not on-road. The temperature and wind shown beside each Manitoba camera come from the nearest Environment and Climate Change Canada station, which may be some distance away. Use it to judge whether it's cold enough for ice or windy enough to blow snow — not as the exact pavement temperature.
- Watch the wind number as closely as the temperature. On open stretches like Trans-Canada West and PTH 75, strong winds are what create whiteouts. A clear, sunny, cold day with hard wind can be more dangerous than a calm snowfall.
- Check PTH 75 for flooding in spring, not just snow in winter. The Red River Valley floods, and the road can close around Morris when the river rises. The camera view and Manitoba 511 closure alerts will show you whether the corridor to Emerson is open.
- Compare two or three cameras along your route before leaving. Conditions on the open Trans-Canada can be fine near Portage and a full whiteout near Virden. Scanning several points gives you a far better picture than a single image.
- If 511 lists a highway as closed, respect it. Manitoba closes the Trans-Canada and PTH 75 in blizzards specifically so crews can respond and to keep drivers from getting stranded in extreme cold. There's no shortcut around a closed prairie highway — wait it out.
