PROJECT PURPOSE
To improve the safety and
capacity of Capital Circle Southeast, the project
widened the existing two-lane undivided rural road
to a six-lane divided urban facility in a park-like
setting. The project includes curb and gutter, sidewalk,
a wide meandering sidewalk, bicycle lanes, stormwater
improvements and substantially landscaped median within
the landscaped corridor.
This is the first
transportation Design-Build roadway project too be
completed in Tallahassee-Leon County. This innovative
delivery method was chosen to save time and money
because design and construction were done in tandem.
The Blueprint 2000 Intergovernmental Agency awarded
M, Inc. and C.W. Roberts, a joint venture with PBS&J,
and Parsons Brinckerhoff to design and construct the
project.
