Sunday morning is the first in which commuters can take advantage of a new toll road.
Highway 183A stretches north of 620 at 183 to Liberty Hill. The entire 11.6 miles will cost you $1.80.
Until May 1, everyone who uses this toll road will drive for free. TxTag drivers have until June 1 to drive without paying. Supporters say it will alleviate traffic on 183 from Cedar Park to Liberty Hill along with encouraging growth in the area.
Something to be aware of: the toll plaza near Lakeline Mall Drive will only accept electronic payments. That means you will have to have a TxTag, or you will get a violation notice in the mail.

The $238 million dollars is a HUGE cost to build a handfull of miles of road. Thats the first sign of waste and corruption.
The state comptroller investigation proves the CTRMA (a mini-TxDOT) has created a double tax, by diverting tax dollars intended for free roads, into toll roads like 183A. The report also showed CTRMA board members giving NO-BID CONTRACTS to themselves and their friends (Appendix 5). Board members of RMA's have property in the vicinity of toll roads that have increased by as much as 989%!
