Pretty simple affair, a straight shot +1 lane down the median. Frustrating that a project this simple requires years of community engagement and environmental studies, but it's good to see CTRMA being proactive. They stay on top of things in the metro.
ATX —> MPLS. Travelled many roads, in part and in full.

Also for SH US 183, TxDOT has scheduled public meetings to launch the environmental process to upgrade the section in north Williamson county to a freeway, and the section in Burnet county to 4-lane divided.

The Ghostbuster

I know that the TX 183A Toll Road extension will soon open to end just north of the CR 213/CR 258 intersection (with the last interchange being at TX 29). Are there any plans to further extend the TX 183A Toll Road further north from there?

It doesn't look like there is anything official on the books (aka a "US-183A Phase 4" project). Although their "Phase III" web site states traffic volumes in that area North of Austin will increase 183 percent by 2042. That sounds like a good justification for TX DOT to start acquiring several more miles of ROW.

Right now growth in the Austin metro (especially in Austin city limits) is hitting the pause button due to the housing price bubble appearing to have popped. Once the economy goes through a big correction it's likely growth in Austin will resume.

While growth inside Austin itself has stalled (temporarily) towns near Austin are still growing. I-14 gets built out to the West and more is done to upgrade US-281 it's easy to imagine Lampasas booming. It could happen anyway.
