Enhanced Highway Road Information System Ready Just in Time for Winter Driving Season: Ashton

BRANDON—Highway travellers, commercial truckers, visitors and families across the province will benefit from Manitoba’s new 511 service, Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Steve Ashton announced here today during the Association of Manitoba Municipalities annual convention.

“The new 511 traveller information service will provide drivers with the most up-to date information on driving conditions, helping families ensure they get to their end destinations safely and giving truckers the ability to plan their routes more efficiently,” said Ashton. “The system is now up and running and people can access 511 from anywhere in the province to get current road information.”
