Manitoba highways website says both the low road and highway 1 to Brandon is open.

We live out that way and my husband said its horrible and no plows have been out. I'd stay put if I were him.

As per the 511 app on my iPad, highway 1 and Veteran's Way are both open as of 10:32 am Wednesday.

Highway 1 East from Brandon only.

Looks like Hwy 1 to Winnipeg is now open. That should start some trucks moving. Will probably see to Virden going sometime this afternoon.

Thanks Marni. He just wants to come home. Don't blame him. But I told him I have not heard any plow trucks yet and the roads are still closed

I have not been home since monday morning and chances are wont be tonight either.. even if they open, there will be too many semi's on the highway and I'd rather wait it out.

The plow has been down the hiway and we are seeing a bit of traffic moving, not sure of #250 north of town.

Has the #1 west of brandon opened yet? Last update on the mb roads site was 2 hours ago. Wondering if anything has changed yet?

Hoping to hear from someone who's driven on Veteran's Way and the 340 today. Specifically want to know how icy the roads are.

Came in to Brandon on veteran's way about 8:30 this morning, ice covered the entire way from 340 to eastern access. Can't comment on 340

Anyone been on #10 north to #16. Manitoba 511 has not been updated and would assume it is open but curious about road conditions.

vet way and 340 are open, partly ice and snow covered. Went in to Brandon and back about an hour ago, went between 70 and 80km/h and slower on the icy patches.

swiller and Weizen!

Looks like lots of roads are opening up!  
 
Hubby said someone on his Facebook posted a note saying police are stopping those trying to go on closed roads and threatening a fine.

Any word on the current conditions of the 340 and veterans way between shilo and brandon?  
 
Last time i heard there were still big 3 to 4 foot high hard packed drifts all across the roads.... have the plows had a chance to come down these roads?

How's 250 to Souris from number 1?

250 was good. Take it slow over some icy patches, but for the most part it's alright.
