Northbound 183 Express Lanes to Open with Dynamic Pricing in January

The first toll lanes on the 183 North project in Austin have opened, featuring real-time variable pricing that adjusts every five minutes based on traffic, with the system designed to maintain traffic flow and potentially increase toll rates due to the new direct connection to the MoPac Express Lanes. The project, part of a $612 million effort to improve traffic flow, is being opened in stages, with the southbound lanes and connecting ramps expected to open soon, and aims to link major tollways for continuous travel from Liberty Hill to downtown Austin.
