CTRMA: 183A Toll extension opening Wednesday

AUSTIN (KXAN) -- Drivers will soon have access to the newest extension on 183A Toll starting Wednesday, according to the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority.

The new 183A Toll extension from Hero Way to State Highway 29 will now provide drivers with "16 miles of non-stop travel between Liberty Hill and northwest Austin," according to a news release from CTRMA.

Drivers will be able to bypass traffic signals at Hero Way, San Gabriel Parkway, Bryson Ridge Trail and Whitewing Drive, according to CTRMA.

For the full-length trip on the 183A Toll extension, CTRMA said it costs $2.38 for drivers who have electronic tags, like TollTag or EZ Tag, the release said.

"This is a fast-growing corridor in a fast-growing community so this new stretch of 183A Toll will bring much-needed congestion relief to Williamson County," James Bass, executive director of the Mobility Authority, said in the release. "It will serve as a reliable, time-saving option for many commuters, but whether you [choose] to travel the toll road or not, all folks will experience a safer, easier commute along the corridor."
