AUSTIN, TX — The Central Texas Regional Mobility Authority recently opened an additional section of the 183 Toll Road between Techni Center Drive and Bolm Road. The new section will bring the total length of the 183 Toll Road to more than four miles. Drivers will be able to use the new section without incurring any additional tolls.

Under the new configuration, drivers heading north will pay a toll if they do not keep right and use the US 183 “Last Free Exit”, located just north of the Colorado River near Bolm Road.

Initially, all northbound drivers wishing to access Techni Center Drive, FM 969 (MLK Jr. Boulevard), and Loyola Lane used the US 183 “Last Free Exit” to reach those routes. However, the new northbound exit ramp on the toll road is now open for access to FM 969 (MLK Jr. Blvd) and Loyola Lane. The toll at that new ramp will be $0.89 via a prepaid toll account like TxTag or a $1.34 for those who choose to Pay By Mail.

Southbound drivers who enter the 183 Toll Road will now be able to travel an extra 1.3 miles farther south at no additional cost and will merge with the non-tolled US 183 general-purpose lanes near Smith Road.
