Officials reopened Highway 93 between Castle Junction and Radium Monday morning, taking vehicles through with a pilot car because of heavy smoke still in the area. They were expecting they would have to close it again Monday afternoon. The highway was closed for seven days last week, opening Saturday only to be closed again Sunday, when winds blew the flames closer to the road.
