The app also offers access to images from more than 600 cameras, along with information on construction, collisions and road closures.
“Driving during the winter months can be a challenge in every part of the province, and our government remains committed to keeping Ontario’s roads and highways safe,” said Transportation Minister Caroline Mulroney.
The province has also introduced 24 additional road weather information stations that offer the forecasts winter maintenance crews use to prepare for storms.
While first released earlier this year to support truck drivers, access is now offered to all road users.
The Ontario 511 app is available for free on the App Store and Google Play.
