This section is a winding, scenic four-lane road built into the cliffs over Lake Austin.

After crossing Loop 1, RM 2222 continues southeast 2.1 miles (3.4 km) to its termination at Spur 69, which leads to U.S. Route 290 and Interstate 35 (I-35).

Finally, after passing Burnet Road, the name changes to Koenig Lane (pronounced KAY-nig), and remains so to the junction with I-35.

The segment of RM 2222 west of Loop 1 is designated a scenic roadway by the City of Austin.

[1] In the late 1980s, the city of Austin developed plans to expand RM 2222 east of Loop 1 into an east–west freeway, SH 169, connecting with US 290.
