  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.

Current Construction Information

Updated: September 25, 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:

  • Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights is currently shifted to the outside lanes through Sept. 30, for crews to work in the middle of Lindsay Road to mill (remove) asphalt, conduct paving and raise utilities to make them flush with the new asphalt surface. Left turns are restricted during this work with only right in/right out movements permitted at side streets/driveways.
  • Scheduled to take place Oct. 1 through the end of October, Lindsay Road traffic from Ocotillo to Chandler Heights will be shifted to the inside lanes for crews to complete striping and landscape restoration along either side of Lindsay Road. Crews will work 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, and thank you for your patience during this effort.
  • 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:

  • Nolan Place is currently closed and expected to be open by end of day, Friday, Sept. 25, as crews complete concrete work.
  • Crews continue work to install storm drain pipe and manholes in the east side of Lindsay Road from Riggs Road to Cloud Road, working in a northerly direction.
  • Electric crews are currently working 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 currently working to install irrigation along the middle of Lindsay Road to serve median islands and scheduled to begin Oct. 5, will remove the median island south of Riggs and begin grading activities to prepare for concrete median curb.
