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.
