CHANDLER, AZ – The Chandler City Council has entered into two agreements that will allow for improvements to Chandler Heights Road between Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive.
A construction agreement was awarded to Sunland Asphalt & Construction, LLC in an amount not to exceed $9,784,943. A related professional services agreement, including contractor supervision, inspections, schedule review and public access, was awarded to Consultant Engineering, Inc. in an amount not to exceed $1,035,646.10.
The Chandler Heights Road Improvements Project will widen the roadway to include two through lanes in the eastbound and westbound directions from Gilbert Road to Val Vista Drive. The project scope of work also includes the addition of bike lanes, a raised landscaped median, Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) improvements that include curbs, gutters and sidewalks, improved traffic signals, street lighting, storm drainage, block walls and improvements of utilities. This project also includes work and coordination with the Salt River Project for underground overhead distribution lines.
Construction is expected to begin in early January 2025.
An adjacent segment of Chandler Heights Road, from McQueen to Gilbert roads, is currently nearing completion of construction. This segment will be fully open before construction begins between Gilbert Road and Val Vista Drive.
The Chandler Heights improvements between Gilbert and Val Vista roads will take advantage of the amount of private development improvements that have already occurred, making it less complex than the work from McQueen to Gilbert roads.
