Projects: ST2106.201 / CHN0250D / T031701C
The City of Chandler is designing improvements to construct approximately 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes along Frye Road from approximately one-half mile west of Arizona Avenue to the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).
The project area includes existing signalized intersection crossings at Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road, a railroad crossing, connections to five Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) schools, San Marcos Park, Folley Memorial Park, and the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).
The entire length of the project is within the City of Chandler right-of-way, connecting to Salt River Project (SRP) right-of-way on the east end of the project at the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).

Construction Information (October 29, 2025):
Crews are currently working on the second phase of the Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes Project, on Frye Road from just east of Hamilton Street to just east of Arizona Avenue, with the following current schedule:
Paving of the final course (top layer) of asphalt for the north and south side of Frye Road, from east of Arizona Avenue to Hamilton Street is currently scheduled for Nov. 3 and 5. To accommodate this work, Frye Road will be closed in both directions during paving as scheduled:
- Monday, Nov. 3 – Frye Road will be closed from east of the railroad tracks through the Hamilton Street intersection on the north side of Frye Road. Crews will reopen the intersection as soon as they are able to minimize the impact to school traffic; however, Frye Road west of the intersection to the railroad tracks will remain closed until paving is completed that afternoon.
- Wednesday, Nov. 5 – Frye Road will be closed in both directions west of the railroad tracks to Arizona Avenue. The roadway will be reopened at the end of the day once paving is complete.
As the paving crosses side streets or driveways, there will be brief periods when access will be restricted; however, crews will make every effort to restore access as quickly as possible. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the work zone. No closures are planned for Tuesday, November 4, to accommodate Election Day activities.
- Following the paving, temporary striping will be reapplied on Thursday, Nov. 6, and scheduled for Nov. 10-12, crews will raise utilities, such as manholes and valves, to make them flush with the new road surface. Frye Road will remain open for travel with traffic control in place to shift traffic away from the work locations.
- APS contractor crews are currently working on their facilities in Frye Road west of Arizona Avenue.
Traffic and detour signage is in place to direct travelers around the work zone. Access to residences, businesses, and schools is being maintained during this work, although it may not be the most direct route. Should access need to be restricted to provide a safe work area, the contractor will ensure alternate access is available and signage placed, as needed, to inform travelers.
Thank you for your patience during this work.
Project History
The Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes project was identified as a near-term bicycle facility recommendation in the Chandler Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2019 Update. During the development of the TMP 2019 Update, the majority of community feedback indicated that Chandler residents are interested in bicycling but have concerns over sharing roadways with vehicles and desire a more comfortable experience that physically separates bicyclists from vehicular traffic.
The Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes Project will be the first project to design and install protected bike lanes to address these concerns, provide a more comfortable option for bicyclists, and enhance the connection and accessibility to Downtown Chandler, schools, parks, and the Paseo Trail.
Frye Road is classified as a federal functional class minor arterial in the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). However, within the project limits, it functions as a collector street and is not shown as a minor arterial on the City of Chandler’s TMP 2019 Update Roadway Function Classification Map.
