Lindsay Road Improvements: Ocotillo Road to Hunt Highway

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

Construction begins in mid-March 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.

Current Construction Information:  (March 18, 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:

Scheduled for Monday, March 23, crews will begin concrete work to reconstruct corner ramps and valley gutters on either side of Lindsay Road, from Chandler Heights to Ocotillo Road. To accommodate this planned work, a lane restriction will be in place for northbound and southbound Lindsay Road traffic to shift traffic away from the work activity, as needed, and the following closures will be in place:

  • Scheduled to begin March 23, for approximately 1-2 weeks, Glacier Place and Brooks Farm Road will be closed on the west side of Lindsay Road for crews to work on ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) corner ramps. Old Stone Ranch residents should use Ocotillo or Chandler Heights roads to access Lindsay Road during this work, and detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the planned closures. Traffic control will be adjusted back at the end of each day to permit traffic; however, will be reset early the next morning for crews to begin work.
  • Scheduled to begin following work at Brooks Farm Road, once Brooks Farm Road is reopened, Lynx Place will be closed on the west side of Lindsay Road for approximately two weeks for crews to reconstruct ADA corner ramps and the concrete valley gutter across Lynx Place. Avian Meadows residents should use Brooks Farm Road to access Lindsay Road during this work, and detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure. The closure will remain in place 24/7 to accommodate work across Lynx Place and provide time for the concrete to cure.
  • Scheduled to begin approximately Thursday, March 26, Lynx Place will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road, as will the Lindsay Road entrances to the Chandler Nature Center (Veterans Oasis Park) and the Chandler Heights Police Substation. Crews will work on the east side of Lindsay Road at these locations to reconstruct ADA corner ramps and valley gutters, and this work is expected to take about two weeks to complete, with the closures in place 24/7 to provide time for the concrete to cure. Avian Trails residents should use Crescent Way to access Lindsay Road, and access to the Police Substation and Nature Center will be available at Chandler Heights Road.

Lindsay Road, Riggs Road to Hunt Highway:

Scheduled to begin March 23, crews will work to remove trees identified for removal along the east and west side of Lindsay Road, from Cherry Hills Drive south to Hunt Highway. Trees identified for removal are typically in conflict with the planned improvements as part of this project, such as sidewalk or drainage components. A shoulder closure will be in place, but Lindsay Road will remain open for travel between Riggs Road and Hunt Highway.

Scheduled for the week of April 6, crews will begin concrete and asphalt removals to clear the way for work on either side of Lindsay Road, from Riggs to Hunt Hwy.
