Current Projects

Loop 101 at Galveston Street (Bike/Pedestrian Bridge)

The Galveston Street Bicycle & Pedestrian Bridge will provide a crossing at Galveston Street, which is between Chandler Boulevard and Ray Road. Construction of the bridge will be handled by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT), which awarded the $3.6 million contract to Ames Construction Inc. ADOT will also handle any structural repairs and Chandler will be responsible on-going maintenance. Community input on the bridge location and design concept was obtained through public meetings and meetings of the Chandler Transportation Commission which is comprised of Chandler residents.
