Tram Road Scheduled to Close from Capital Circle to Four Oaks Boulevard
May 30 - August 14 as part of Blueprint 2000’s Widening Project
Tallahassee, Monday, May 22, 2006 _ Motorists are advised that Tram Road east of Capital Circle is scheduled to close from Capital Circle to just west of Four Oaks Boulevard beginning Tuesday, May 30 through August 14, 2006.
The road closure, which is part of the Capital Circle Southeast widening project, is necessary to widen Tram Road from a two-lane to a four-lane divided roadway to handle higher traffic volumes.
During the intersection closure, no through traffic will be allowed onto Capital Circle via Tram Road. Traffic from Tram Road will be detoured to Capital Circle via Four Oaks Boulevard and Shumard Oaks Boulevard.
This work is scheduled for this time to coincide with the closing of area schools for summer break and is expected to be complete by mid August. Motorists should be alert for construction vehicles entering and exiting the roadway from the construction zone.
The finished roadway at both Tram Road approaches to Capital Circle Southeast will include a raised median, curb and gutter, 4-foot bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides of the road.
Construction of the $36 million project began in May 2005 and is scheduled to finish in early 2008. However, weather, underground utility conflicts or other unforeseen circumstances could delay or prolong construction activities.
