Central Texas Turnpike System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Central Texas Turnpike System (CTTS) is a network of toll roads in the greater Austin, Texas area. The system encompasses State Highway 45, Loop 1, and State Highway 130.

The first phases of the system are being constructed by the Texas Department of Transportation and are partly financed through the sale of toll revenue bonds. The current roadways are part of the 2002 Central Texas Turnpike Project (CTTP). Certain sections of the system officially opened November 1, 2006, nearly a year ahead of schedule.

Tolls on CTTS roadways will be collected by employees in traditional toll booths and by an electronic toll collection system called TxTAG.
