Highway 133 has reopened in both directions near mile marker 63, according to a Pitkin Alert.

The highway was shutdown due to a wildfire around 4 p.m.

Jenny Cutright, deputy chief and public information officer at Carbondale & Rural Fire Protection District, said the five-acre fire is now contained.

Fire crews are working on hot spots and will deploy a water line, a type of fire suppression technique, to make sure the fire does not reignite.

She did not state a cause for the wildfire.

This is a developing story, and it will be updated as more information becomes available.
