A number of highways in Manitoba were closed last night due to weather conditions.

High winds caused blowing snow and whiteout conditions.

A number of highways north of Winnipeg were closed but have since reopened. This includes Highway 6 from the Perimeter Highway to Highway 248. Highway 67, from Highway 6 to Highway 7. Highway 236 from the Perimeter to Highway 67 Highway 7 from the Perimeter to Highway 68.

The Trans-Canada, however, remains closed from the Perimeter Highway to Portage la Prairie.

Caution is urged on all roadways this morning as icy conditions exist on many surfaces.

Update (5:45 a.m.):

Manitoba Infrastructure reports that the Trans-Canada highway has been reopened from the Perimeter Highway to Portage la Prairie.

Brad Milne from Manitoba Highways says that caution is still needed this morning. "There are a lot of lightly snow-packed roads [in the Interlake] . . . We do have crews out, and they're doing their best to get them back to normal seasonal drives as quickly as they can."

Currently, all major highways in Manitoba are open.
