A few highways in west-central Manitoba are closed Wednesday morning as an Alberta Clipper moves through the province.

Heavy snow has reduced visibility and left roads and highways snow-covered, prompting the closure of some busy highways. 

As of 5:10 a.m., the following highways are closed: 


Highway 5, from Ochre River to Grandview
Highway 10, from the north entrance of Riding Mountain National Park to Pine River
Highway 20 Ochre River to Fork River

The province is reminding motorists that closure gates and message signs may not be present at closure locations. Motorists are encouraged to avoid the closed highways and find another route.
