  6. Lindsay Road Improvements: Ocotillo Road to Hunt Highway

(Project Nos. ST2001.401 / CHN0246D / T024301C)

Construction has begun to widen and improve Lindsay Road, from Ocotillo Road to Hunt Highway, to four lanes (two lanes in each direction), with raised medians, bike lanes, center turn lane, curb, gutter, sidewalk, street lighting and drainage improvements. The project 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 electricity to underground.

The project received federal funds for design and construction. Chandler City Council awarded professional services and construction agreements to start construction of the Lindsay Road Improvement project at their Jan. 22 meeting. Chandler has contracted with Achen-Gardner Construction to construct the improvements which are expected to take 26 months to complete.  

If you would like to receive project updates during construction or have questions regarding the project, please contact us.

Current Construction Information

Updated: September 8, 2026

Provided below is information on upcoming construction, but please remember schedules can be impacted by a variety of factors to include weather, materials scheduling, availability of resources, and coordination with others.

Lindsay Road, Ocotillo Road to Chandler Heights Road:

  • Lindsay Road traffic is currently shifted to the west side of Lindsay Road between Chandler Heights Road and Riggs Road, one lane in each direction, with left turns restricted, as crews work to construct improvements on the east side of Lindsay Road. 
  • Work continues in Lindsay Road at Horseshoe Drive with crews preparing for paving back the area on Sept. 9.
  • Scheduled to take place Sept. 10-14, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights will be shifted to the outside lanes for crews to work in the middle of Lindsay Road to lower utilities such as manholes and valves to prepare the road for paving. Left turns will be restricted during this work with only right in/right out movements permitted at side streets/driveways. 
  • Scheduled to take place Sept. 14-19, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights will be shifted to the inside lanes for crews to lower utilities, mill (remove) asphalt, and pave the curb lanes of Lindsay Road. Prior to paving, this effort will include crack seal, which will take place during night hours, Sept. 15-16. During this work, the side streets of Glacier, Brooks Farm, Lynx and the entry to Park Senior Villas will be closed on the west side of Lindsay Road, and the side streets of Glacier, Crescent Way and the entry to the Chandler Nature Center on the east side of Lindsay Road will be closed. Alternate access is available and detour signs will be in place to direct travelers around the closures. 
  • Scheduled to take place Sept. 19-30, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights will once again be shifted to the outside lanes for crews to work in the middle of Lindsay Road to mill (remove) asphalt, conduct paving and raise utilities to make them flush with the new asphalt surface. Prior to paving, this effort will include crack seal, which will take place during night hours, Sept. 21-22. Left turns will be restricted during this work with only right in/right out movements permitted at side streets/driveways. 
  • Scheduled to take place Sept. 30 through the end of October, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights will once again be shifted to the inside lanes for crews to complete striping and landscape restoration along either side of Lindsay Road. Crews will work first along the east side of Lindsay Road from Chandler Heights to Ocotillo, and then along the west side of Lindsay Road from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights. Side streets will be closed, as needed, to accommodate the work with alternate access available for residents, and thank you for your patience during this effort. 
  • In late October or early November, as this paving process from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights nears completion, traffic restrictions can be removed from this segment of the project. However, should repair work or additional restoration be necessary, intermittent traffic restrictions will be needed. 

Lindsay Road, Chandler Heights Road to Riggs Road:

  • Scheduled to begin Monday, Sept. 14, Nolan Place will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road for approximately four weeks for crews to upgrade the corner ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) ramps and reconstruct the concrete valley gutter across Nolan Plan on the east side of Lindsay Road. Whispering Heights residents should access Lindsay Road via their alternate access at Chandler Heights Road during this time. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure.
  • Crews continue work to install storm drain pipe in the east side of Lindsay Road from Riggs Road to Cloud Road, currently near Vallejo Drive working in a northerly direction.
  • Crews continue work at the Riggs Road intersection to bore (tunnel) conduit for the future traffic signal across the intersection, and electric crews continue work to install electric conduit, working in a northerly direction from Riggs to Vallejo. Left turns may be restricted at the intersection to accommodate this work.
  • Scheduled to take place the week of Sept. 8, crews will install sewer pipeline in Lindsay Road at Via de Palmas. Access will be maintained for residents during this work.
  • Electric crews will soon begin work to install electric conduit in the east side of Lindsay Road, working from Via de Palmas heading south as part of the conversion of overhead power to underground.

  • Crews are currently installing concrete sidewalk and drainage scuppers on either side of Lindsay Road, from Riggs Road to Hunt Highway with this work taking place through the end of next week.
  • Scheduled for Monday, Sept. 14, Doral will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road during daytime hours for crews to conduct work at the corner ramp.
  • Scheduled to take place Tuesday, Sept. 15, Lindsay Road traffic from Riggs Road to Hunt Highway will be shifted to the curb lanes of Lindsay Road for work to begin in the middle of Lindsay Road. Left turns will be restricted and access to side streets will be with right in/right out movements only.
