Construction at MLK Jr. Boulevard intersections to cause traffic delays starting Monday

  • July 17, 2026

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – Tallahassee is starting construction on a traffic signal upgrade on Monday at two local, busy intersections.

The construction will be at the intersection of MLK Jr. Boulevard and Tharpe Street and the other on MLK Jr. Boulevard and Northwood Boulevard.

Crews are modernizing the intersections, including new mast-arm signals and updated sidewalks and crosswalks. Most work is expected to wrap up before school starts in mid-August.
