Betton Road Project Nears Completion

Corridor Set to Open June 8

June 06, 2022

By noon on Wednesday, June 8, local motorists will again be able to drive along Betton Road from Centerville Road to Thomasville Road. This will mark the completion of the City of Tallahassee's Betton Road Traffic and Pedestrian Enhancement Project.

A more than $3 million investment in local infrastructure, the primary purpose of the project was to reconstruct the road base of Betton Road, which was reaching the end of its service life. The City used this opportunity to also improve pedestrian safety along the corridor and upgrade the existing underground utilities, including water, sewer and stormwater drainage.

This project was done in conjunction with the Hickory and Spruce Water Main Improvement Project, which included replacing water main infrastructure along Hickory, Spruce and Chouteau avenues and Sycamore Street in the Betton Hills neighborhood. As part of the water main project, the impacted roads are slated for resurfacing in the future.

In line with its vision, the City is committed to supporting a strong community with vibrant neighborhoods. Throughout both projects, area residents and nearby homeowner's association have been actively engaged in the process.

City leadership and area residents will participate in a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Betton Road and Spruce Avenue prior to the road opening.

These are some of the many City infrastructure projects recently completed or underway around the community. Collectively, these investments support the City's commitment to be a leader in utility service delivery and to proactively address issues related to aging infrastructure.
