| Project Description: |
| This project design is to widen the existing two lane segment of Woodville Highway Gaile Ave to Capital Circle. Woodville Highway connects to major arterial systems including Capital Circle (US319) and Monroe Street (US27) and serves as a major evacuation route from the Coastal Highway (US 98). This road is frequented by residents of Wakulla County that work in Leon County. It is anticipated that the volume of traffic will continue to increase as the Capital Circle Office Complex, which houses a number of state agencies, continues to expand. |
