The Leon County Sheriff’s Office said Capital Circle is closed from Woodville Highway to Crawfordville Road because of heavy smoke as emergency officials work a wildfire in the area. Please take an alternate route.

LCSO posted about the closure on their Facebook page Sunday evening.

A still from a Tallahassee traffic camera at Woodville Highway and Capital Circle shows the smoke in the distance.

Earlier in the day, LCSO said they had a team responding to the area due to the smoke.

The road closure was announced around 7:30 p.m. ABC 27 asked LCSO how long the road might be closed. They were unable to give an estimate, however, they did confirm the fire causing the smoke is contained.
