Mobile Authority to host virtual open house on 183A project in Leander

LEANDER, Texas (KXAN) -- The Central Texas Regional Mobile Authority said it will host a virtual open house meeting on Wednesday at 5 p.m. on the addition of a fourth lane on 183A toll in both directions between RM 620/ SH 45 and Hero Way.

The public will be able to submit comments for the open house through email, mail or through their website.

CTRMA said the additional lane would be a proactive measure to allow for the 183A Toll Road to accommodate future traffic volumes and reduce traffic congestions for years to come.

"The projections have shown that by 2042, traffic is going to be nearly 200% greater than it is today," Mike Sexton, the director of engineering for CTRMA said back in August 2023 when he spoke with KXAN's Erica Brennes.

This comes after last Friday, CTRMA responded to concerns over how water runoff would impact the 183A Toll Road.

The 183A Toll Road began in 2021, and is expected to open to traffic in early 2025.
