Newfoundland 511 Cameras — Live Road Cameras & Map
All Newfoundland 511 cameras — interactive statewide map
About this map
This map gathers the live road cameras from 511 Newfoundland and Labrador (511NL) — the province's official traveler-information system, run by the Department of Transportation and Infrastructure — into one fast, searchable view. The cameras follow the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1), the roughly 900-kilometre spine that crosses the island from St. John's and the Avalon Peninsula through Clarenville, Gander, Grand Falls-Windsor and Deer Lake to Corner Brook and the ferry terminal at Channel-Port aux Basques. Instead of guessing what the road looks like, you can see a recent still image before you commit to a winter drive.
One honest note up front: these are cameras only. There is no road-weather sensor feed here — no temperature, pavement or wind readout attached to each camera — and our weather supplement is U.S.-only, so it does not apply in Canada. For forecasts, watches and warnings, Environment Canada is the source. What the cameras give you is the most useful signal of all: the live picture. You can see snow on the lanes, slush and spray, blowing snow cutting visibility, fog, wet pavement, and traffic backing up behind an incident or a closure — the things a forecast can't show you in real time.
Use the area presets to jump straight to your part of the island — the Avalon around St. John's, the central run past Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor, or the western approach to Corner Brook and the ferry. Search for a town or route, save the cameras you check most as favorites, and open any feed for a larger image. It's a practical, traveler-first tool for commuters, truckers and anyone timing a run across Newfoundland's notoriously stormy Trans-Canada in winter.

Province-wide
A bird's-eye view of every 511NL camera across the island, tracing the Trans-Canada Highway (Route 1) from St. John's and the Avalon all the way west to Corner Brook and the Port aux Basques ferry. Best for an at-a-glance read before a long cross-island drive, when storms can close the highway in more than one spot at once.
St. John's & the Avalon
Cameras around the capital, St. John's, and across the Avalon Peninsula — including Mount Pearl, the Conception Bay communities, and the Trans-Canada (Route 1) heading west off the peninsula. This is the island's busiest corner and the home of the famous St. John's weather bombs: heavy snow, freezing rain and dense fog. Watch for slick pavement and backups before you head out.
Central (Gander & Grand Falls)
Cameras along the long central stretch of the Trans-Canada (Route 1) through Clarenville, Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor. This open, often exposed run sees heavy snow and frequent winter closures, and it's a long way between towns — scan the cameras to judge whether the highway is passable before you start across.
Western (Corner Brook)
Cameras on the western Trans-Canada (Route 1) around Deer Lake and Corner Brook and south toward the ferry at Channel-Port aux Basques. This region includes the infamous Wreckhouse near Port aux Basques, where winds funneling out of the Long Range Mountains can blow vehicles — even transport trucks — right off the road. Check here before any winter run to or from the ferry.
Tips for using Newfoundland and Labrador road cameras
- Before crossing the Wreckhouse near Port aux Basques in winter, scan the western cameras for blowing snow and whiteouts — winds here regularly top 100 km/h and have rolled transport trucks. If a wind warning is posted, wait it out.
- Treat each camera as the real signal: it shows snow, slush, spray, fog and backups directly. There's no temperature or sensor readout attached, so pair what you see with an Environment Canada forecast for the area.
- On the long central run between Clarenville, Gander and Grand Falls-Windsor, check the cameras before you start — towns are far apart and the Trans-Canada closes in winter storms.
- Around St. John's and the Avalon, watch for freezing rain and 'weather bomb' snowfall; a wet-looking road in a cold snap often means ice, so judge the picture, not just the calendar.
- Save your regular cameras as favorites — your commute, the Wreckhouse, or a stretch of the Trans-Canada you cross often — so they load with one tap next time.
- Cameras are a real-time gut check, but Newfoundland closes the Trans-Canada fast in storms — always confirm official closures, ferry status and wind warnings with 511NL (511nl.ca) or by dialing 511 in the province before you drive.
