A new Web camera on Highway 97 in Hixon is now live on the Province's DriveBC website, providing real-time coverage of highway conditions in the area and helping motorists plan a safe journey. The web camera is located along Highway 97 at Swanson Road near Hixon looking north: http://prd.images.drivebc.ca/bchighwaycam/pub/html/www/252.html
This camera provides motorists real time images of road and weather conditions in an area with limited local weather information available through other means.
Users of the Highway 97 corridor can monitor road and weather conditions at key points as they travel the corridor.
Weather in the Hixon area can vary greatly from that in Prince George and Quesnel, making this a prime location for a webcam.
Motorists can "Know Before You Go", the Province is adding 30 new web cameras to its DriveBC network this year. Priority for new Web cameras is given to routes prone to severe weather or traffic congestion, and for sites where there is not already a nearby webcam.
