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 (July 1, 2025):
Crews continue work on the first phase of the project on Frye Road, east of Hamilton Street to the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal) with the following schedule and restrictions for paving activities beginning the week of July 7:
- July 7: Asphalt milling (removal) will begin at the McQueen Road intersection, using flaggers and law enforcement officers to direct and control traffic. Temporary traffic stops at the intersection should not exceed 15 minutes, and once through the intersection, the work will continue east toward the canal.
- July 8 – 9: Asphalt milling (removal) will take place from Hamilton Street to the west side of the McQueen Road intersection. Due to the narrower lanes, access to McQueen Road will be restricted to emergency response and local traffic through July 9; however, McQueen Road traffic should be unaffected. Once milling is complete, paving will begin on the east side of McQueen to the canal and then resume west of the McQueen Road intersection to Hamilton Street.
- July 10: During night hours, beginning at approximately 10 p.m., paving of the Frye Road/McQueen Road intersection will take place. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the work area.
- July 11: Crews will place temporary striping for this phase until permanent (thermal) striping can take place.
- July 14-15, crews will raise utilities, such as manholes and valves, to make them flush with the new asphalt surface.
- Should there be delays in this schedule, the dates may change but the sequence remains the same.
Scheduled for July 17, crews will begin work in the next phase of the project, Frye Road, between Arizona Avenue and Hamilton Street.
- Scheduled for July 17-18, crews will lower utilities, such as manholes and valves, to prevent damage during the milling process.
- Scheduled for July 23-24, crews will mill (remove) asphalt on the north side of Frye Road, between Arizona Avenue and Hamilton Street, for work on improvements to begin. Traffic will be shifted away from the milling activity and as this work crosses side streets or driveways, there may be brief restrictions until the activity can pass.
- On-street parking will not be permitted along Frye Road, between Arizona Avenue and Hamilton Street, during this work.
Access to residences, businesses, and schools will be maintained during this work, although it may not be the most direct route. 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.
