Driving in Council Bluffs
Roadze tracks 65 traffic cameras in and around Council Bluffs, Iowa — 65 of them stream live video, the rest publish a fresh photo every few minutes. They belong to the Iowa Department of Transportation and are the same feeds their own traffic operators watch.
Most of them sit on I-29 (35), I-80 (22), US-275 (4), I-480 (2) and I-680 (2). If you only check one before heading out, make it the road you actually take.
Winter is what closes roads here: snow, ice and blowing snow from November through March. Plow cameras and pass cameras are the ones worth checking before a trip.
Cameras are public and free to watch — no account, no app. Each one shows what the road looks like right now, which is more useful than a traffic map when you want to know whether it is raining, whether the plows have been through, or whether that backup is an accident or just volume.
Every camera in Council Bluffs was checked today. 65 are listed as working. Roadze re-checks every camera daily against its transportation department, so a camera that goes dark disappears from this page instead of sitting here as a broken thumbnail.
