I just got around to finally watching this. Pretty cool to see an 85 MPH limit in the United States, if it it's only for some 41 miles. I rarely get political on KZbin, but do you honestly think this roadway is going to be a success? Several other toll road facilities around the US have had to declare bankruptcy, due to low usage. From watching this video, traffic looks almost non-existent at times?

Heck, make it a tourist attraction.. do away with the speed limit and make it the only experimental open speed zone in the country. It worked for Montana for a while, before the insurance lobby got ahold of it.

For the toll method txtag might be replaced by EZ-Pass because Texas will join the EZ-Pass group by mid-2013 this will allow drivers in NJ, NY, PA, MA, NH, RI, DE, and MD to try TX-130 for the 80-85 mph speed limit.

People are complaining about the tolls but not the $20 you'll spend on gas driving the whole thing at 85 mph. At those speeds you'll get like 20 mpg in a sedan or 15 mpg in an SUV. And on top of that you'll spend more maintaining/fixing your car cause of the increased wear. Do enjoy your 85 mph highways, but the tolls will be the least of your expenses, so don't blow them out of proportion.

Great footage and song choice. I've driven the entire 83-mile stretch and doing 85 mph is totally worth the toll, the reduced mpg and wear and tear to my car. Note: Once you reach the junction of Hwy 45 and 130, the speed limit drops to 80mph and remains that way until you reach I-35 in Georgetown. It is 85mph for the first 50 miles (from the south end of TX130) then is lowered to 80mph for the remaining 43 miles. I absolutely love driving on TX 130, and I can't describe the freedom I feel when I drive on the "Texas Autobahn."

There should be more roads like this. But back East, the thought of a privately owned road with 85 MPH would be abhorrent, even in more rural areas. Because obviously roads must be run by the government charging huge tolls and having 65MPH speed limits so that they can get more revenue through traffic tickets. Privately run roads are better, cheaply and more efficiently run than if all that toll $ goes to gov't beauracrats.

They are building that one in segments. A good chunk of it should be open to traffic this year. It runs from I-10 to U.S 290 and is probably the most important segment because it will relieve the abhorrent traffic on U.S 290. The next three segments (F1,F2 are the only ones I can remember) will start construction sometime this summer-fall and be open to traffic by 2015. So most of the loop should be finished by 2016.
