[[Texas State Highway 130|SH 130]] is a bypass route designed to relieve [[traffic congestion]], starting from Interstate 35 just north of Georgetown and running along a parallel route to the east, where it bypasses [[Round Rock, Texas|Round Rock]], Austin, [[San Marcos, Texas|San Marcos]] and [[New Braunfels, Texas|New Braunfels]] before ending at [[Interstate 10 in Texas|I-10]] east of [[Seguin, Texas|Seguin]], where drivers could drive {{convert|30|mi|km}} west to return to I-35 in [[San Antonio]]. The first segment was opened in November 2006, which was located east of [[Austin–Bergstrom International Airport]] at Austin's southeast corner on [[Texas State Highway 71|SH 71]]. Highway 130 runs concurrently with SH 45 from [[Pflugerville, Texas|Pflugerville]] on the north until it reaches [[U.S. Route 183 in Texas|US 183]] well south of Austin, at which point [[Texas State Highway 45|SR 45]] continues west. The entire route of SH 130 is now complete. The final leg opened on November 1, 2012. The highway is noted for having a maximum speed limit of {{convert|85|mph|km/h|abbr=on}} for the entire route. The {{convert|41|mi|km|adj=on}} section of the toll road between Mustang Ridge and Seguin has a posted speed limit of {{convert|85|mph|km/h|abbr=on}}, the highest posted [[speed limits in the United States|speed limit in the United States]].

[[Texas State Highway 45|SH 45]] runs east–west from just south of US 183 in [[Cedar Park, Texas|Cedar Park]] to 130 inside [[Pflugerville, Texas|Pflugerville]] (just east of Round Rock). A tolled extension of State Highway Loop 1 was also created. A new southeast leg of SH 45 has recently been completed, running from US 183 and the south end of Segment 5 of TX-130 south of Austin due west to I-35 at the [[List of Farm to Market Roads in Texas#FM 1327|FM 1327]]/Creedmoor Road exit between the south end of Austin and [[Buda, Texas|Buda]]. The 183A Toll Road opened in March 2007, providing a tolled alternative to US 183 through the cities of [[Leander, Texas|Leander]] and [[Cedar Park, Texas|Cedar Park]]. Currently under construction is a change to East US 290 from US 183 to the town of Manor. Officially, the tollway will be dubbed Tollway 290 with "Manor Expressway" as nickname.

Despite the overwhelming initial opposition to the toll road concept when it was first announced, all three toll roads have exceeded revenue projections.<ref name="Wear 2009" />
