Nova Scotia highway webcams are operated by the Nova Scotia Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal (TIR). Most are mounted on tall steel towers, most of which have weather sensors included on the tower. The sensors measure temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and wind direction and speed.
The webcam pic below is more or less real time and will update every 30 to 40 minutes, depending on conditions.
This camera is one of two mounted on the Seal Islands Bridge on Cape Breton Island. It is near the centre of the bridge looking northwest. The bridge crosses the Bras d'Or Lake from the mainland to Boularderie Island. This is on the Trans Canada Highway, west of Sydney and Sydney Mines.
