Construction continues for improvements to Chandler Heights Road from McQueen Road to Gilbert Road (Project: ST1614.401 CHN0240D T009901C). The City of Chandler has contracted with Granite Construction and Ardurra Group to widen Chandler Heights Road to a minimum of four lanes (two lanes in each direction), from McQueen to Gilbert. Improvements include construction of raised medians, bike lanes, center turn lanes, sidewalks, curb, gutter, street lighting, traffic signals, drainage improvements, landscaping, and utility relocations. Construction is expected to take approximately 18 months to complete.
