  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.
