Highway closures in eastern Manitoba as storm moves in

The first real snowstorm of the season is so far living up to its promise and highways in eastern Manitoba are closing as conditions worsen.

Manitoba Infrastructure says that as of 5:55 p.m. both directions of the Trans-Canada Highway are closed from Falcon Lake to the Ontario border. Highway 12, from Steinbach to the US border is also closed.

Snow and strong winds have been pushing eastward through North Dakota and into southern Manitoba and northwestern Ontario. Snowfall warnings remain in effect for several regions with anywhere from 10 to upwards of 25 centimetres of snow expected to fall this evening and into tomorrow.

While other highways remain open in southeastern Manitoba several are experiencing poor driving conditions. Highway cameras from Manitoba Infrastructure on our road reports and cancellations page show several areas with snow-covered sections of highway.
