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 21, 2025):
Crews have begun work 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. Work in this segment will initially take place on the north side of Frye Road, and then move to the south side of Frye Road, with the following current schedule:
- Scheduled to begin July 23 for approximately 4-5 weeks, Frye Road traffic will be restricted to EASTBOUND travel only (no westbound traffic) from east of Hamilton Street to east of Arizona Avenue, for crews to reconstruct asphalt and concrete on the north side of Frye Road. During this time, crews will mill (remove) asphalt and subsurface material, conduct grading activities, rebuild the subsurface of the roadway, reconstruct the concrete bus stop, and conduct concrete repairs, as necessary. Access will be maintained to the extent possible; however, there will be brief restrictions as work crosses side streets or driveways. Flaggers may be on site to assist with the management of traffic. During the milling work, scheduled for July 23 – 24, on-street parking will not be permitted along Frye Road, between Arizona Avenue and Hamilton Street. Following the milling, on-street parking will again be permitted on the south side of Frye Road until work on the north side of Frye Road is complete and work begins on the south side of Frye Road.
- Following work on the north side of Frye Road, currently expected to begin in late August for approximately 4-5 weeks, Frye Road traffic will then be restricted to WESTBOUND travel only (no eastbound traffic) from east of Arizona Avenue to east of Hamilton Street, for similar work on the south side of Frye Road. On-street parking will not be permitted on the south side of Frye Road during this work.
- Traffic and detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the work zone. Access to residences, businesses, and schools will be 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.
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.
