Project Description:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Capital Circle NW/SW is a regionally significant roadway connecting the Tallahassee Regional Airport to Interstate 10.  The segment of this roadway from U.S. 90 (Tennessee Street) to I-10 is currently under design with funding committed for right-of-way acquisition.  The remainder of this roadway from the Tallahassee Regional Airport to Tennessee Street is five miles long and is currently a two-lane road.

 

The Long Range Transportation Plan for Tallahassee and Leon County indicates that this roadway needs to be widened to a four-lane facility.  This will provide a much-needed intermodal connection between the Tallahassee Regional Airport and Interstate 10, a major interstate highway connecting the west coast and the east coast of the United States.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Measurable Outcome Anticipated:

 

 

 

 

 

The improvement of this section would compliment the other phases of this project.  It is believed that once complete, the enhanced transportation along with scheduled airport improvements will create freight related opportunities, creating new jobs.  This improvement will also stimulate the creation of new jobs at Innovation Park, a high tech business park located west of the airport.
