Several Manitoba highways were closed Wednesday as a low pressure system blankets southern portions of the province in heavy snow.
According to the province, the following routes have closed due to poor winter driving conditions.
The province said blowing snow and poor visibility are behind the closures.
It added closure gates and variable message signs may not be present at current closed locations.
The closures come amid snowfall warnings from Environment and Climate Change Canada for several communities, including Winnipeg, Brandon, Portage la Prairie and Steinbach.
The agency warns the system will bring a wide swath of accumulating snow, about 10 to 15 centimetres worth, which could cause visibility to drop to near zero.
Conditions are expected to improve on Thursday.
