British Columbia residents now have more views of B.C. highways with multiple new web cameras being installed in 2018 including some near Prince George.
One camera was installed north of Prince George on the east side of McLeod Lake, just south of the Whiskers Point Provincial Park entrance. The government says this camera is part of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure's road weather information system and looks north/south.
It fills a gap along Highway 97, north of Prince George.
Highway 27 at Hill/Greenview in Fort St. James also has a now operating camera. Government Communications and Public Engagement Media Relations Officer Lindsay Byers tells PrinceGeorgeMatters in an email that the camera actually went live in 2017 but died quickly after and didn't come back into service this year. This is not included in the new 22 but is still of note.
That camera provides north and south views of Highway 27 for those travelling through Fort St. James.
