The new westside toll road is still free to use and it looks as though it will stay that way into the new year.
The Border West Expressway was going to be free for all to use for a brief introductory period and it now appears that it will remain that way into 2021. The tollway was created by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) and the Camino Real Regional Mobility Authority (CRRMA) and officially opened in October of 2019. Over a year later, there is still no charge to use the roadway . which is fine with me!
As for when they will eventually begin charging the tolls, all I found on the CRRMA website was this:
1st new connection opens in I-10 Connect project in central El Paso
TxDOT
EL PASO, Texas – The first connection in the I-10 Connect project is now open.
The new direct connector ramp linking eastbound Loop 375 to eastbound Interstate 10 in central El Paso opened to traffic Tuesday afternoon.
With the opening, a motorist who works in west El Paso can now use eastbound Loop 375 (the Border West Expressway) to bypass downtown and then transfer over to I-10.
The I-10 Connect Project will include 16 new bridges or bridge segments that will provide improved connectivity from eastbound I-10 to eastbound Loop 375.
