A new toll road in Texas is now the fastest stretch of highway in the nation as motorists driving between Austin and San Antonio can travel at 85 mph.

The Texas Transportation Commission last week approved the new posted limit last week for the soon-to-open segment of toll road Texas 130 from just south of Austin to Interstate 10 in Seguin.

The new 41-mile stretch of Texas 130 is the state's first public-private toll road. Tolls have not been set, reports the San Antonio Express.
