  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: Oct. 22, 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:

  • Currently taking place through the end of October, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights is shifted to the inside lanes for crews to complete landscape restoration along either side of Lindsay Road. Crews are working 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.
  • 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:

  • Crews will begin work on Monday, Oct. 26 to reconstruct ADA corner ramps on either side of Scorpio Place on the east side of Lindsay Road. During this work, Falcon Estates access should not be impacted.
  • Scheduled for Nov. 2 - 20, following work on the ADA corner ramps at Scorpio Place, the contractor will reconstruct the concrete valley gutter across Scorpio Place, and the entrance to Falcon Estates. As this is the only access for Falcon Estates to Lindsay Road, the work will take place on one-half the valley gutter at a time to maintain access. A flagger will be in place during work hours to assist residents and during non-work hours, the area plated to restore the entrance to normal travel.
  • Work also continues to build the southbound right turn lane at the Riggs intersection, with crews installing concrete curb and catch basins.
  • Electric crews continue work to install electric conduit and drill for street light pole foundations along the east side of Lindsay Road, working from Via de Palmas heading south as part of the conversion of overhead power to underground. 

Lindsay Road, Riggs Road to Hunt Highway:

  • Lindsay Road traffic from Riggs Road to Hunt Highway is currently shifted to the curb lanes of Lindsay Road for work to take place in the middle of Lindsay Road. Left turns are restricted and access to side streets are with right in/right out movements only.
  • Crews are completing work to install irrigation and concrete median curb along the middle of Lindsay Road for the future median islands.
  • Work has also begun to import soil and conduct grading activities to prepare the subsurface of the roadway for future paving.
  • Scheduled for Nov. 12-13, paving will take place on the inside lanes, near the median islands, and following the paving activity, traffic will then be shifted to the middle of Lindsay Road (inside lanes) with left turns restored as work begins along the outside (curb) lanes.
