Bridge Concepts

As part of ST0540 Ocotillo Road, Greenfield to Higley project, four structures will be constructed including a box culvert at the RWCD canal which was constructed as part of an early phase in 2023. Bridges will be constructed at the Eastern Maricopa Floodway, the Chandler Heights Regional Basin and Queen Creek. The Chandler Heights Regional Basin bridge will also span a future phase of Gilbert Regional Park.

Public Participation

In March 2022, the community was asked to vote on four design concepts. We received approximately 3,500 responses and narrowed the design concepts to two options – Palo Verde and Desert Falls. The community had a chance to vote between the final two options in June. Nearly 2,900 people responded, and the Palo Verde concept is moving forward.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Gilbert in contact with the nearby neighborhoods about the bridge, the road extension, and the associated impacts?

Why is it important for the bridge in this location to be unique?

This area of Gilbert is unique, it connects communities through multiple modes of travel and extends through the future phase of the Gilbert Regional Park which will be a destination for not only local residents, but also for national and international travelers. Completing the project with a “statement bridge” further enhances the experience for all users and provides a landmark for Gilbert’s residents for years to come.

Will the bridge look exactly like the concepts that were shared?

Will there be access to Gilbert Regional Park from the Ocotillo Bridge?

What did the Initial Palo Verde Concept look like?
