We strive to keep our roads and infrastructure well-maintained. For those curious about the road construction or traffic restrictions in the city, you'll find all of the details about current projects.
From design plans and timelines to funding sources and who to contact for more information, we've got you covered.
The Alma School Road Design Concept Report was finalized in July 2019. Three phases of improvements to Alma School Road are planned, as identified in the 10 Year Plan for City Capital Improvements.
Phase One improvements on Alma School Road from Pecos Road to the first median break south of Germann Road were completed in 2021.
Phase Two improvements on Alma School Road are from Germann to Queen Creek roads. Design is scheduled for Fiscal Years 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 and construction is scheduled for Fiscal Year 2025/26. There are currently no road closures or traffic restrictions associated with the project corridor.
Phase Three improvements on Alma School Road are from Chandler Boulevard to Pecos Road. This project is currently outside of the 10-Year CIP.

The City of Chandler is moving forward with construction of the Ashley Trail and Paseo Trail Connection to create safer trail connections across major roadways. This project will enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers while improving connectivity between key shared use paths.
The Ashley Trail crossing at Cooper Road was identified as a bicycle and pedestrian improvement in the 2019 Chandler Transportation Master Plan Update. Construction includes extending the Ashley Trail eastward to connect with the Chandler Paseo Trail and installing a new signalized pedestrian crossing on Cooper Road. Once complete, the enhanced crossing will provide a safer and more convenient way for trail users to cross Cooper Road and access the extended Ashley Trail on the east side of the corridor.
The City of Chandler is designing improvements to construct approximately 2.5 miles of protected bike lanes along Frye Road from approximately one-half mile west of Arizona Avenue to the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).
The project area includes existing signalized intersection crossings at Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road, a railroad crossing, connections to five Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) schools, San Marcos Park, Folley Memorial Park, and the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).
The City of Chandler is designing low-cost, quick-build protected bike lane improvements to add physical separation between people biking and vehicle traffic along key segments of Jacaranda Parkway.
By physically separating travel modes the project is expected to reduce conflicts, improve visibility, and create a safer, more comfortable corridor for people driving, biking, and walking. These changes will help improve access to nearby neighborhoods, schools, and destinations while supporting safer travel for users of all ages and abilities.
This project consists of widening Lindsay Road, from approximately 600 feet north of Ocotillo Road to Hunt Highway, with four through lanes (two through lanes in the northbound and southbound directions), as a minor arterial standard with 55' on each side.
This project will complete the gaps of missing arterial roadway improvements between developed communities. Improvements include new pavement, raised landscaped medians, bike lanes, center turn lane, curb, gutter, sidewalk, Americans with Disabilities Act upgrades, street lighting, drainage infrastructure, communication and traffic signal infrastructure, utility relocations, landscaping and fence restoration, and traffic signal upgrades and dual left turn lanes at intersection of Lindsay Road and Riggs Road. 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 electrical SRP 12kV Overhead Power to underground.

Stay informed as the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) makes improvements to the Loop 202 Santan Freeway. The project has begun, and it is scheduled for completion in 2027.
Major elements of the project include:
- Add two lanes in each direction between Price Rd. and Gilbert Rd.
- Add one lane in each direction between Gilbert Rd. and Val Vista Dr.
- Widen Loop 202 freeway entrance and exit ramps
- Widen bridges over Arizona Ave., Union Pacific Railroad and Consolidated Canal
As the Loop 202 ramps are widened, the entrance and exit ramps may close for up to 60 consecutive days. ADOT will stagger this work to avoid closing consecutive freeway entrance or exit ramps in the same direction. This portion of the project is planned to begin in 2025.
Two ramps connecting the Loop 101 and Loop 202 freeways also may close for up to 15 consecutive days as improvements are made. Ramps connecting southbound Loop 101 to eastbound Loop 202 and westbound Loop 202 to northbound Loop 101 may be affected at different times in 2025.
The City of Chandler is moving into construction on summer 2026 of the new concrete shared-use pathways along the Kyrene Branch Canal and Highline Canal in west Chandler, replacing existing unpaved trails and improving regional connectivity to the City of Tempe’s pathway system. The project includes approximately 0.9 miles along the Kyrene Branch Canal and 0.25 miles along the Highline Canal, along with new bike lanes on Orchid Lane and 54th Street.
Identified in the Chandler Transportation Master Plan as a key bicycle and pedestrian improvement, construction will add lighting, wayfinding, landscaping, and a rest node to create safer and more comfortable travel for all users.
The City of Chandler has contracted with Kimley-Horn to design improvements to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety at the Ray Road and Dobson Road intersection. Improvements include adding dedicated right turn lanes, dual left turn lanes, raised median islands and bike lanes to complete all four approaches to the intersection, as well as curb, gutter and sidewalk. The existing six through lanes (three in each direction) on Dobson Road and four through lanes (two in each direction) on Ray Road will be maintained.
In addition, there will be traffic signal improvements, ADA improvements, asphalt pavement rehabilitation, upgraded street lighting, drainage improvements and associated utility relocations for the project.
The project is receiving federal funds for design with construction currently scheduled to begin in the summer of 2026.

The City of Chandler has contracted with B&F Contracting to rehabilitate the sewer pipeline in Price Rd, from south of the Loop 202 to Queen Creek Rd. The “trenchless” technology of lining the sewer pipeline extends the life of the sewer pipeline and is less impactful and of shorter duration than removal and replacement.

The City of Chandler contracted with Achen-Gardner Construction to replace water pipeline, associated residential service connections, and fire hydrants in Tyson Manor, Sunset Manor and Arrowhead Meadows neighborhoods in Chandler. Construction is scheduled to begin in Spring 2025 and take approximately 12-14 months to complete.
