Manitoba infrastructure minister Doyle Piwniuk told Global News earlier this week that improvements are being made to Manitoba’s 511 system, which will soon include a new mobile app providing drivers with more up-to-date details on roads that have been closed by RCMP due to unsafe conditions.
This page will update if there are any further closures throughout the evening.
