  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 10, 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.
  • SRP crews continue work on the east side of Lindsay Road at Horseshoe Drive to relocate the electric transformer. 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.
  • Scheduled to begin July 13, for approximately one week, crews will install waterline at Lindsay Road and Vallejo Street, with Vallejo remaining open for access during this work.
  • Capricorn Place is currently closed through approximately July 20 on the west side of Lindsay Road for crews to investigate a subsurface issue and reconstruct the corner ramps on either side of Capricorn Place. Shadow Ridge residents and their visitors may use Cloud Road for access to Lindsay Road during this time or use Pinaleno Place to access Riggs Road.
  • The Lindsay Road driveway for the Shadow Ridge Business Park is currently closed for approximately two weeks while crews reconstruct the driveway. Business access will be maintained via the Riggs Road and Pinaleno Place entrances during this time.
  • Scheduled to begin Wednesday, July 15 for approximately four weeks, crews will reconstruct the sidewalk corner ramps and valley gutter across Nolan Drive on the west side of Lindsay Road. This work will take place in phases to maintain access to the community beginning with the corner ramps and then moving to the valley gutter reconstruction. A flagger operation may be in place during work hours while the valley gutter is reconstructed and outside of work hours, the work area will be plated to provide normal access.

Lindsay Road, Riggs Road to Hunt Highway:

  • Crews are currently working to complete concrete ramp and valley gutter work at Cherry Hills Drive with Cherry Hills Drive currently closed on the east side of Lindsay Road through July 20.
  • Crews are currently working on the west side of Lindsay Road at Mountain Boulevard to reconstruct the corner ramps. Mountain Boulevard remains open with access to/from Lindsay Road during this work.
  • Scheduled to take place on Monday, July 13, Peach Tree Drive will be closed on the west side of Lindsay Road for approximately two weeks, for crews to construct the concrete ramps and valley gutter in this area. Residents of Solera may use Mountain Boulevard to access Lindsay Road or Santa Rita Way to access Hunt Highway. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure.
  • Currently expected to take place the week of July 20, once Peach Tree Drive is reopened on the west side of Lindsay Road, 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.
  • Scheduled to begin Tuesday, July 21 for 2 - 3 weeks, Doral Drive will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road while crews remove several inches of asphalt and subsurface of the road to 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 will be in place to direct travelers around the closure.
  • Crews are currently working on the north side of Hunt Highway at Lindsay Road to reconstruct concrete ramps. Hunt Highway remains open for travel with a lane restriction in place to shift traffic away from the work activity.
  • Electric crews continue work on the west side of Lindsay Road to install conduit for ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) as part of the future traffic signal at Riggs Road.
