The Map above shows the entire project.
A new portion of the 183A toll road is now open to drivers.
It's a short northbound section between the Lakeline Blvd exit in northwest Austin and a new Avery Ranch Blvd exit (WORK AREA 2).
When finished, the toll road will run more than 11.5 miles starting around Lakeline Mall and extending through Cedar Park and Leander, stopping at the San Gabriel River.
The entire project is scheduled to be open on March 3.
But here's something interesting that you may not know about 183-A. When you get off at Lakeline Mall Drive, your only option is to pay electronically. There will be no cash booths available. "By the number of people who are signing up for TxTags, it's pretty clear that most folks want to have a TxTag. It is the preferred way to pay," Steve Pustelnyk with the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority said. So what happens if you don't have a TxTag and only cash? You'll go through, the lights will go off, and the camera will take a picture of your license plate and send you a bill. When 183-A officially opens next month, you'll be able to drive on it for free through May 1.
The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority told KXAN that there will be signs posted letting drivers know that there will not be a cash option.
