(CBS 42) AUSTIN An 11 and a-half mile stretch of State Highway 130 opened Thursday morning.
The portion begins at Hwy 290 and continues to Hwy 71. It is the third portion of SH 130 to open. This will allow many drivers to get to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport faster and to avoid I-35.
It also provides another alternative to the I-35 corridor between Georgetown and Austin, officials say.
“This gives people another way to get around Austin,” Texas Department of Transportation spokesperson Gaby Garcia said. “The trip to the airport will become more dependable.”
This stretch of the highway will be free until Nov. 1. It will continue to be free for TX Tag users until Dec. 1. At that point the 11 and a-half stretch will cost $1.50.
Now SH 130 stretches from Georgetown to Southeast Austin. The toll for that complete ride is $4.50.
