Traffic switch for Capital Circle

Southwest in Leon County

CHIPLEY, FL– Motorists traveling along State Road (S.R.) 263 (Capital Circle Southwest) in Leon County will encounter a new traffic pattern, from Springhill Road to the general aviation access road at Compass Pointe, beginning Tuesday, February 17, 2026, at 10 a.m. As part of ongoing construction activities, traffic will be shifted to the newly constructed Southbound lanes. Airport Commerce Boulevard traffic will need to use Aviation Avenue when accessing Capital Circle.

This traffic shift is necessary to continue construction activities in the median sections of the roadway. Message boards, signage, channelizing devices, and traffic control officers will guide drivers through the work zone. The speed limit in the area will be reduced to 45 mph during construction.

All activities are weather-dependent and may be delayed or rescheduled in the event of inclement weather. Drivers are reminded to use caution when traveling through a work zone, and to watch for construction workers and equipment entering and exiting the roadway.
