    AUSTIN JUNCTION Crews have reopened one lane of Highway 26 at the site of a Tuesday morning chip trailer fire, about three miles west of Austin Junction.

    The highway was closed about 8 a.m. so crews could deal with the fire. Pilot cars and flaggers began routing traffic through the area about two hours later.

    The Oregon Department of Transportation warned motorists to expect minor delays at the scene.
