The Trans-Canada Highway has reopened in both directions near Kamloops.

A stretch of the Highway was closed 45 kilometres west of Kamloops due to a brush fire.

The fire, near Savona, is 100 per cent contained.

At its largest, the fire spread to four hectares. Two air tankers and a bird-dog aircraft assisted 12 B.C. wildfire firefighters and a contract crew.

A second Highway 1 closure in Mount Revelstoke National Park due to a vehicle collision has also reopened.
