The Northern Manitoba Winter road season is now in full swing.

Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Ron Kostyshyn announced yesterday that all winter roads are now open.

The winter road season  lasts seven to ten weeks ending in March. Every year more than 2,000 shipments of goods are trucked to Northern Manitoba communities.

The approximately 2,200 kilometres of winter roads that span across Northern Manitoba serve 30,000 Manitobans in 23 communities.
