  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: (June 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.
  • Crews continue work in the median island north of Chandler Heights, currently installing landscape and irrigation, and scheduled to pave the surface course (top layer) of asphalt on June 18.
  • Crews continue work on the east side of Lindsay Road at Horseshoe Drive to install water pipeline, and also 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.
  • Electric crews are currently working between Capricorn Place and Riggs Road to install street light pole bases, and will soon stand new street light poles.
  • Pipeline crews are working in this same area between Capricorn Place and Riggs Road to install a segment of storm drain as part of drainage improvements. Following this work, scheduled to begin late next week, crews will relocate a fire hydrant and water services along Lindsay Road, between Capricorn Place and Riggs Road. Residents impacted by planned water service disruptions will be notified in advance by door hanger.

Lindsay Road, Riggs Road to Hunt Highway:

  • Grading crews are currently working to install concrete curb returns which connect the newly-installed concrete curb on the west side of Lindsay Road, from Hunt Highway to Cherry Hills Drive to corner curb at side streets.
  • Scheduled to begin June 11, for approximately two weeks, Hazeltine Way, Peach Tree Drive and Karsten Drive will be closed on the east side of Lindsay Road for contractor crews to construct concrete ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) corner ramps and also concrete valley gutters across these streets. Detour signage will be in place to direct residents and their visitors around the closures. Following this work, similar work will take place at Doral Drive on the east side of Lindsay Road, with Doral Drive closed at that time and detour signage in place.
  • Scheduled to begin June 11, crews will work on the north side of Hunt Highway at Lindsay Road to conduct removals and begin grading activities. Hunt Highway will remain open for travel with traffic shifted away from the work activity.
  • Scheduled to take place June 15-16, paving crews will pave the base course (bottom layer) of asphalt along the east side of Lindsay Road, except where valley gutter work is taking place.
  • Electric crews are currently working on the west side of Lindsay Road to install conduit for streetlights and ITS (Intelligent Traffic Systems) as part of the future traffic signal at Riggs Road.
