Projects: ST2106.201 / CHN0250D / T031701C
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 entire length of the project is within the City of Chandler right-of-way, connecting to Salt River Project (SRP) right-of-way on the east end of the project at the Paseo Trail (Consolidated Canal).

Construction Information (August 21, 2026):
- Crews are currently working to complete striping in Frye Road. Scheduled to take place Monday, August 24, Frye Road will be closed from Delaware Street to Nevada Street while crews stripe Frye Road at the railroad tracks. Detour signage will be in place to direct travelers around the closure. As striping is applied, this helps delineate bike lanes, so please remember that vehicles are not permitted to drive or park in the bike lanes.
- Scheduled to begin August 24 during night hours, crews will begin applying the special green coating for the bike lanes. This special coating is high-visibility, fast-curing acrylic resin mixed with anti-skid aggregate. Crews are planning to begin the applications on Frye Road at Arizona Avenue. While this work is currently expected to take place during night hours, some day work may be necessary.
- Crews are currently installing concrete curbs to serve as a physical barrier between the vehicle lane and bike lane. Curb installation may also include installation of art panels and to accommodate this work, crews will utilize a shadow truck and law enforcement officer near the work zone to shift traffic away from the work activity.
- Crews are currently installing bollards and raised pavement markers (RPMs) on Frye Road, between Arizona Avenue and McQueen Road.
- Currently scheduled to take place Saturday, August 28, crews will install a water meter box near the fire hydrant on the north side of Frye Road, just west of the SRP substation on the east end of the project.
Access to residences, businesses, and schools is being maintained during this work, although it may not be the most direct route. Should access need to be restricted to provide a safe work area, the contractor will ensure alternate access is available and signage placed, as needed, to inform travelers.
Thank you for your patience during this work.
Project History
The Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes project was identified as a near-term bicycle facility recommendation in the Chandler Transportation Master Plan (TMP) 2019 Update. During the development of the TMP 2019 Update, the majority of community feedback indicated that Chandler residents are interested in bicycling but have concerns over sharing roadways with vehicles and desire a more comfortable experience that physically separates bicyclists from vehicular traffic.
The Frye Road Protected Bike Lanes Project will be the first project to design and install protected bike lanes to address these concerns, provide a more comfortable option for bicyclists, and enhance the connection and accessibility to Downtown Chandler, schools, parks, and the Paseo Trail.
Frye Road is classified as a federal functional class minor arterial in the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). However, within the project limits, it functions as a collector street and is not shown as a minor arterial on the City of Chandler’s TMP 2019 Update Roadway Function Classification Map.
