I am trying to figure out how much it would cost to by pass Austin using route 130 which is a tollway. When I look at the vehicle pictures they use to describe the pricing I don't know which one represents a motorhome with a toad. Has anyone taken this route from the beginning at Georgetown, ending at interstate 10 with a motorhome and toad and have any idea of the cost? Thanks
I took a look at this since I might have to do it some day. I have to admit, it is not presented in a totally straightforward manner. It looks like the toll rates are administered separately for the two sections, the north part and the south part.
Toll for north (sections 1-4) = $5.31, assuming your motorhome and toad have 4 axles combined.
Toll for the south (sections 5-6) = $29.51 (!)
You could save some money, if this is true, by taking SH45 back to I-35 instead of going all the way to I-10 - like $25 if I interpret the tolls correctly.
I agree that expecting to not hit traffic coming through Austin on I-35 is not realistic at any reasonable hour.
Let me repeat, I have not done this, I'm only deciphering the toll table.
