A regional project that will extend the 183A Toll to Liberty Hill just cleared a hurdle ahead of construction.
On Aug. 27, the Texas Transportation Commission approved a development agreement with the Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority on the 183A Toll Phase III extension. The authorization from TTC was necessary for the project to move forward because it connects to state-managed, non-tolled facilities along US 183, said Peter Smith, director of the Transportation Planning and Program Division for the Texas Department of Transportation.
CTRMA documents show the extension will add approximately 6.6 miles of managed toll lanes from Hero Way in Leander to SH 29 in Liberty Hill. The tollway will add two lanes in each direction, though CTRMA documents state the roadway will ultimately expand to three lanes each way.
The Aug. 27 vote from the TTC now opens the door for CTRMA to begin construction on the project.
