The Future of Austin Toll Roads

The Texas Department of Transportation and the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority are working on improvements and additions to our toll system.

• The Manor Expressway (Hwy 290) is open for 1.5 miles or road from US183 to just east of Springdale in east Austin. Eventually it will be a 6 mile stretch to be completed in 2014.

• There is an environmental study working to determine whether to add 6 tolled lanes on 7 miles of road from Hwy 290 to Hwy 71.

• There is a proposal to do an environmental study to determine the benefit of adding express toll lanes to on US 183 in the grassy median from Loop 1 (MoPac) to RM 620.

• There is a plan to start construction on express lanes on Loop 1 (MoPac) adding 1 tolled lane in each direction from Parmer to Lady Bird Lake in April and this project may take 2 1/2 years.

What do you think about the toll road expansion?

Happy driving!
