Quick Answer
Lakeway sits roughly 25 miles west of downtown Austin along RR 620. Depending on the exact route and time of day, the drive typically takes 30 to 45 minutes outside of peak traffic, and can run longer during rush hour since the corridor funnels through Bee Cave and West Lake Hills before reaching MoPac or Loop 360.
