  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: (July 31, 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 Riggs Road:

  • Crews continue work on either side of Lindsay Road, from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights Road. To accommodate this work, a lane restriction is in place for northbound and southbound Lindsay Road traffic to shift traffic away from the work activity, as needed.
  • Scheduled to begin August 10, as traffic control is shifted further north and northbound traffic will shift back to the correct side of the median at Alamosa Place, Canopy residents will be permitted to turn RIGHT ONLY (northbound) from Alamosa Place onto Lindsay Road.
  • Scheduled to begin August 17, Lindsay Road traffic between Chandler Heights Road and Riggs Road will be shifted to the west side of Lindsay Road, one lane in each direction, with left turns restricted. As northbound traffic will shift back to the correct side of the median at Nolan Place, Nolan Place will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road during this time. Whispering Heights residents should access Lindsay Road via their alternate access at Chandler Heights Road during this time.
  • Work continues on the east side of Lindsay Road at Horseshoe Drive with crews working to install electric conduit across Horseshoe Drive, and scheduled to begin the week of August 10, crews will conduct grading activities followed by installation of concrete curb and gutter. Due to the close proximity to Crescent Way where traffic is transitioning, Crescent Way remains closed and residents of Avian Trails may use Lynx Place as alternate access to Lindsay Road during this time.
  • The Lindsay Road driveway for the Shadow Ridge Business Park is currently closed for approximately 2-3 weeks while crews reconstruct the driveway and Lindsay Road across the front of the driveway. Business access will be maintained via the Riggs Road and Pinaleno Place entrances during this time.
  • Crews continue work reconstructing corner ramps and the valley gutter across Nolan Place on the west side of Lindsay Road. This work is taking place in phases to maintain access, with paving scheduled for August 5 and 7. A flagger operation may be in place during work hours while valley gutter work or paving is taking place and outside of work hours, the work area will be plated to provide normal access.

Lindsay Road, Riggs Road to Hunt Highway:

  • Doral Drive is currently closed on the east side of Lindsay Road, expected to reopen on August 10, while crews reconstruct the road in this area. Residents of Sun Groves may use Peach Tree Drive to access Lindsay Road, Hillcrest Drive to access Hunt Highway, or Sun Groves Boulevard to access Riggs Road or Val Vista Drive. Detour signage is in place to direct travelers around the closure.
  • Scheduled to begin Thursday, August 6, Mountain Boulevard will be closed on the west side of Lindsay Road for 2 - 3 weeks, while crews remove several inches of asphalt and subsurface of the road to reconstruct the road in this area. Residents of Solera may use Peach Tree Drive to access Lindsay Road or Mountain Boulevard to access Riggs Road. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure.
  • Electric crews continue work in the project area to install street light pole foundations, and grading crews work on spillways, concrete sidewalk and scuppers from Hunt Highway to Riggs Road.
