Heavy rain and flooding that swept through the area over the last few weeks postponed an event celebrating the opening of State Highway 45 Southwest (SW).

But according to officials, the 4.5-mile, four-lane toll road that connects MoPac in south Austin to FM 1626 near Bliss Spillar Road in Hays County will be ready for traffic June 1.

Construction on the road began in November 2016 and took approximately three and a half years to complete.
