Anybody have a link to detailed plans for the O'Connor & Great Oaks extensions from 620 that will hook up to Texas 45?

Can't figure out how or where they're gonna tie it in with the tollway.

Thanks in advance.

Wondered that myself. Can't wait for them to finish. It will help so much with traffic around here.

Here's the best map I can find so far on the internet. It's not very detailed but it gives you an idea.

A thousand pardons, D; but, the boundary for WilCo/Travis Co. is closer to the 45 Toll Rd., then it falls south and follows McNeil, kinda-sorta(crossing Parmer between McNeil and Anderson Mill). As you know, the boundary between Austin and Cedar Park is Brushy Creek, more or less. It looks like the proposed connection will be clearly in Williamson Co.
Map of the county line, but not the proposed road extension...

you are correct sir, I was thinking of the wrong boundary.

As much as I dislike driving on O'Connor and Great Oaks, I would likely take advantage of this extension when I'm headed to La Frontera and points east.

So much for the relative seclusion of Highland Horizon...the vehicle count on Great Oaks will likely increase one-hundredfold in the first week. At least they will have easy access to 45.

I think that O'Connor will see the big increase since everyone tries to avoid Great Oaks b/c of the two schools.
