Alternatives to I-35 in Austin?

Question

I will driving to from Waco (between Austin and Dallas) to Laredo (South of San Antonio). Usually every time I drive to Laredo, there is big traffic jam in Austin while driving in I-35. Is there an alternative. Someone toll me about a toll road to go around it, can anyone expand on it? I-35 take me straigt from Waco to Laredo, but the traffic is usually a nightmare. Also, I will hitting Austin around 3 pm on Friday. I will appreciate you help, thanks.

i have taken a route more than a couple of times and the only way i see is for you to go through it. cause the  alternate route that i know gose through bastrop and that isnt where your going. i live in the RGV. try going to mapquest and try typing your directions in and ask for shortest route. good luck.
