Pro Tip: SH-130 Tollway + SH-71 Toll Lane Beat I-35
Austin's I-35 is one of the most congested urban freeways in the US. For AUS arrivals from north/east Texas, SH-130 tollway bypasses I-35 entirely — connecting I-35 near Georgetown (north) to I-10 near San Antonio (south) via eastern Austin. The SH-71 Toll Lane per CTRMA provides peak-hour express access from SH-130 directly to AUS. For SXSW, ACL, or F1 arrivals, tolls are well worth the I-35 bypass — typically saving 30-60 minutes.
Formula 1 US GP traffic (October) at Circuit of the Americas produces major SH-130 congestion around AUS — buffer accordingly.
