Unfortunately, no. You are able to contribute a total amount of $6,500 between both your Roth IRA and your traditional IRA within the same tax year as long as the participating party, you, are 50 years of age or older ($5,500 for individuals below 50 years of age).
With that being said, there are ways around this stipulation and contribute to both IRAs in the same calendar year. If you choose to contribute to one or the other before the April filing deadline, it can be recognized for the previous year, yet the other contribution that was made during the calendar year may be considered within the current tax year.
