A storm drain, water and sewer improvement project is underway in the Detroit Basin/Gazelle Meadows Park area. This project is jointly funded by the City of Chandler and the Flood Control District of Maricopa County. Engineering design and modeling began in spring 2022.
Construction begins in early November with current construction information provided below. During construction, street excavation will be required to install large underground pipes.
Storm drain, water and sewer improvements may include:
- A deeper basin at the Gazelle Meadows Park and other improvements, based on public input
- New potable waterline along Erie Street
- Sewer line rehabilitation along Exeter and Erie streets
- Underground storm drain pipes and inlets near or along Erie, Nevada, Detroit and Hamilton streets
Construction Information (June 24, 2024):
The City of Chandler has contracted with Achen-Gardner to construct storm drain, waterline, and sewer improvements in the area near Erie Street and Hamilton Street. The project includes streetscape, alleyway, paving and ADA improvements in Erie Street, as well as park and associated infrastructure improvements. Construction began in early November 2023 and project completion is expected in Fall 2024.
- To prepare for an upcoming mill (asphalt removal) and asphalt pavement overlay, expected to take place in August 2024, crews are currently working to remove existing sidewalk ramps and install new ramps, where necessary for ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) along Erie Street, between Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road. This work is taking place in the existing public right-of-way. Landscape disturbed during this process will be restored or adjusted, if needed, to retrofit the new ADA ramp.
- During this time, crews may also reconstruct concrete valley gutters, if necessary. To accommodate valley gutter reconstruction, there may be short term road closures (3-4 days) at the valley gutter location to allow the concrete to properly cure. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure, if this is the case.
- Following this work, crews will patch back the asphalt adjacent to the newly installed concrete and conduct asphalt repairs in Erie Street.
For these activities, traffic will be shifted around the work area, maintaining one lane in each direction. Left turns may be restricted. On-street parking will be restricted near the work area and "No Parking" signs will be placed in advance of the work. Access to residences will be maintained; however, it may not be the most direct route. Residential services should not be disrupted; however, please contact us if you experience issues. Thank you for your patience during this work.
