183A Toll extension opens between Leander and Liberty Hill

A 5.3-mile stretch of the 183A Toll from Hero Way in Leander to Hwy. 29 in Liberty Hill opened to trac April 9. What you need to know The road is part of the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority’s 183A Phase 3 project, which extends the existing 10-mile 183A Toll northward, according to the Mobility Authority’s website. The project adds two tolled lanes in each direc- tion within the median of the US 183 corridor and introduces a shared-use path spanning from Hero Way to Seward Junction Loop, according to previous Community Impact reporting. According to a release from the Mobility Author- ity, the extended 183A Toll will provide drivers with nearly 16 miles of travel between Liberty Hill and Northwest Austin by bypassing trac signals at Hero Way, San Gabriel Parkway, Bryson Ridge Trail and Whitewing Drive.

Keep in mind The toll rate for a trip on the roughly 5-mile extension is $2.83 for drivers with electronic tags, like a TollTag or EZ Tag. Drivers wishing to avoid a toll charge can use the nontolled general purpose lanes of US 183, per the release. In the coming weeks, construction crews will con- tinue working on the nal stretch of 183A Toll main lines, which will allow drivers to bypass the signaled intersection at Hwy. 29, according to the release. "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," Mobility Authority Executive Director James Bass said in the release. The 183A Phase 3 project was nanced by the sell- ing of bonds backed by toll revenue and a loan from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Mobility Authority spokesperson Sylvia Shelton previously told Community Impact.
