So I took 290 to Austin today. Not counting the downpour and lightning, the road totally sucks.
I'll be taking 71 from now. For the 3 mile difference, 290 isn't worth it. And that little 6 mile long, toll road (ie Texas taxes) wasn't worth it either. 4951

I always cut down through Bastrop to 71. They keep making it better (new bypass after the airport)
When the Grand Parkway gets completed to 59 the ride will improve even more. The BW8/290 area can be a nightmare. 4951

@friday1: It was more the condition of the road after Brennum, rough, bumpy and what the hell is with that clover leaf ramp from 290 West to 290 West half way, who's brilliant idea was that!

I go there a lot too, one kiddo is in school there. I take 71, because 290 is scary to me with parts of it going fast with no median, just feels dangerous.
 
Unfortunately, last week we got stuck on 71 before the airport in Austin (coming home), in 1 1/2 hours we went 9 miles.
