Good morning, Leander!
This is the Leander Scoop, your local newsletter that feels like that first sip of coffee on a chilly fall morning. Let’s dive into what’s happening in Leander, Cedar Park, and Liberty Hill!
In today’s Scoop:
🚗 183A Toll Road Extension Progress
🎸 Weekend Events and Live Music
🍂 Ronald Reagan as an 8-lane road?!
🏠 Travisso House with Swim Up Bar
Let’s get into it!


This week’s must-know news
🚗 The 183A Toll Road Extension: Almost Ready to Roll! 🚧
Hey Leander and Liberty Hill, it’s happening—the 183A Toll Road extension is in the home stretch! You’ve seen the construction for a while now, but here’s the exciting part: they’re more than 75% done, and this project is set to open in early 2025.
What does this mean for you? No more insane traffic on Ronald Reagan (hopefully). No more crazy traffic on the frontage roads from Leander to Liberty Hill.

This $259 million, 6.6-mile extension will add new tolled lanes from Hero Way in Leander to just north of Highway 29 in Liberty Hill. Plus, they’re not just building for cars—there’s a shared-use path coming for cyclists and pedestrians too.
In a Nutshell:
🏗️ 75% complete and wrapping up soon
🛣️ Early 2025 opening
🚦 No more stops at signalized intersections
🚗 Smoother, faster commutes are almost here!
This extension is nearly ready to transform your daily drive. So, get excited—the finish line is in sight, and soon we’ll all be cruising on the new and improved 183A!

More local news, but fast
Get the freshest updates before anyone else! Here’s what’s buzzing in the Leander area right now:
New Commercial Development at 29 and Ronald Reagan
Pretty disappointed in what we know so far. Just a generic strip mall with nothing too exciting. Someone needs to build a gym at this intersection asap!

Video of what I-35 will look like
Insane money will be invested in revamping I-35 in downtown Austin. Will probably be amazing when done (in a decade or more) and a nightmare traffic wise in the meantime.
-Click to watch in on Youtube
Ronald Reagan becoming an 8-lane road!!
We’ll do a bigger write up on this at some point, but pretty crazy news. Going from the 45 near Cedar Park, all the way past Liberty Hill. Going to be a massive change for the area over the next decade.

Spotlighting local businesses we love
Crunch Fitness

Have you checked out Crunch Fitness in Cedar Park yet? They completely revamped the old Gold’s Gym in the Target center, and made it a top of the line facility.
• All brand new equipment
• 24 hours, 7 days a week
• massage chairs, red light therapy, tanning beds
• tons of classes, including boxing!
• it’s huge (although already pretty crowded at peak times)
• and most importantly, child care! (although please, open it Sunday mornings Crunch, you’re killing us over here😂)
This Crunch has been crazy busy since it opened a couple months ago, but for good reason. It’s the best mainstream gym in our area, outside of Lifetime Fitness. Yet its less than 25% of the cost, which makes it a no brainer.
