Missouri MoDOT Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Missouri MoDOT cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
This map brings together the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) road cameras into one fast, searchable view, drawn from the state's official Traveler Information Map along with the Gateway Guide system in St. Louis and KC Scout in Kansas City. With around 879 cameras spanning the interstates, urban beltways, and river crossings that tie the Show-Me State together, you can see what I-70, I-44, and the metro freeways actually look like before you pull out of the driveway.
What sets these cameras apart is that they are live video, not still snapshots. Each one streams real-time footage that plays right in your browser, so you watch traffic move, snow fall, and fog roll in as it happens rather than guessing from a frozen image that may be minutes old. That live view is a real advantage on Missouri's busy corridors, where backups, crashes, and fast-moving storms can change a drive in moments. Coverage centers on the two big metros and the spine that links them: in St. Louis, I-70, I-44, I-55, and I-64 (locally called Highway 40), plus the I-270 and I-255 beltways, I-170, and the Poplar Street Bridge over the Mississippi; in Kansas City, I-70, I-35, I-29, the I-435 and I-470 loops, I-635, and US-71. Between them, I-70 runs cross-state through Columbia, Kingdom City, and the Jefferson City area, while I-44 heads southwest through Springfield toward Joplin and I-49 links Kansas City to Joplin.
Use the area presets to jump straight to a region, search for a specific interstate or city, save the cameras you check most as favorites, and view the nearest airport's conditions alongside each camera. These cameras don't carry their own road-weather sensors, so the weather you see is pulled from the closest National Weather Service airport station — a useful gut check for temperature and wind when you're judging snow, ice, or storm risk. It's a practical, traveler-first tool for commuters, truckers, and road-trippers who would rather watch the road than guess what it looks like.

Statewide
A bird's-eye view of every MoDOT camera across Missouri, covering the full cross-state run of I-70, the I-44 and I-49 corridors, and the dense freeway networks around St. Louis and Kansas City. The best at-a-glance read before any long drive across the state.
St. Louis
Dense Gateway Guide coverage through the metro core — I-70, I-44, I-55, and I-64 (Highway 40), the I-270 and I-255 beltways, I-170, and the Poplar Street Bridge over the Mississippi. Ideal for timing rush hour, spotting downtown backups, and watching for ice on the river bridges.
Kansas City
KC Scout cameras across the metro where I-70, I-35, and I-29 meet the I-435 and I-470 loops, plus I-635 and US-71 (Bruce R. Watkins Drive). Useful for judging the downtown loop, the Grandview Triangle area, and the bi-state crossings before you commit to a route.
Springfield
Cameras around the Queen City of the Ozarks on I-44 as it skirts the north and west of town, plus US-65 on the east side and the James River Freeway (US-60) across the south. Handy for Ozarks-bound travelers and the Branson and Lake of the Ozarks getaway routes.
I-70 Corridor
The cross-state spine between the two big metros — I-70 through Columbia, Kingdom City, and the Jefferson City area (the capital is reached via US-54 south from Kingdom City). A heavily traveled freight and travel route, in the middle of a multi-year third-lane widening, where weather and construction both slow things down.
Tips for using Missouri road cameras
- Tap any camera to watch live video — these aren't still images, so you can see traffic actually moving, judge how fast a backup is clearing, and watch snow or fog develop in real time before you head out.
- Around St. Louis, scan the Gateway Guide cameras on I-64 (Highway 40), I-44, and the I-270 belt to spot downtown and interchange backups before you commit, and check the Poplar Street Bridge for ice when temperatures drop near freezing.
- In Kansas City, use the KC Scout cameras on the I-435 and I-470 loops and the I-70/I-35/I-29 core to time rush hour and route around incidents on the downtown loop.
- On the I-70 corridor between Columbia and Kingdom City, expect active construction from the ongoing third-lane widening — use the cameras to see lane shifts and stacked traffic before you reach them.
- Tap a camera's nearby weather to pair the live view with the closest airport's temperature and wind — a wet-looking road near freezing on a river bridge or overpass often means ice.
- Cameras are a great real-time gut check, but always confirm official closures and winter-weather conditions with MoDOT's Traveler Information Map or by dialing 511 in Missouri before you travel.
