Learn more about the Chandler Heights Road Improvement Project, Gilbert Road to Val Vista Drive.
(Project Nos. ST1614.401 / CHN0240D / T009901C)
The City of Chandler has contracted with Granite Construction and Ardurra Group for construction which began in August to widen Chandler Heights Road to a minimum of four lanes (two lanes in each direction), from McQueen to Gilbert Road. Improvements include construction of raised medians, bike lanes, center turn lanes, sidewalks, curb/gutter, landscaping, and utility relocations.
The project also includes drainage improvements such as retention basins and concrete scuppers to accommodate future drainage needs in the project area. In addition, there will be improvements to traffic signals and the traffic signal interconnect, as well as new LED street lighting and conversion of overhead electric to underground.
Construction is currently expected to be complete in Summer 2024.
Construction Information (April 12, 2024):
- Rescheduled to take place Tuesday, April 16, Chandler Heights Road traffic, from Cooper to McQueen Road, will be shifted to the south side of the road, on the new asphalt pavement, still one lane in each direction for work to begin on the north side of the road.
- Crews will then begin milling (removing) asphalt on the north side (westbound lanes) of Chandler Heights Road, from Cooper to McQueen Road, for work to begin in that area. As the milling activity crosses side streets, access will be maintained but there may be brief periods where access is restricted, and crews will be on-site to assist.
- To accommodate work on the north side of Chandler Heights Road, Bedford Drive, Adams Avenue, and Tower Avenue will be closed on the north side of Chandler Heights Road, beginning April 16 for approximately 3-4 weeks. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closures. In addition, the driveway east of Adams Avenue into the school staff parking lot (NOT THE BUS TURNAROUND AREA) will be closed during this time.
- Once the milling activity is complete, grading crews will begin grading work on the north side of Chandler Heights Road, from Cooper Road to McQueen Road.
- Also scheduled to begin this week, electric crews will install electric conduit for street lights on the north side of Chandler Heights Road, from Cooper to McQueen. This work will be followed by installation of concrete street light foundations.
- Landscape crews will begin work in mid-April to install irrigation and landscape along Chandler Heights, between Gilbert and Cooper roads.
- Chandler Heights Road remains open for travel during this work with traffic shifted away from the work activity permitting at least one lane of travel in each direction.
- Access to residences and businesses is being maintained.
