Ahwatukee Foothills News
The new Chandler Boulevard Extension in Ahwatukee is scheduled to open on Friday, but one end may be jarring for a while.
The opening of the three-lane, 1.2-mile stretch connects 19th and 27th avenues.
It also spells the end to the stretch of Pecos Road west of 17th Avenue to make way for the South Mountain Freeway.
Traffic on the extension will be allowed after 8:30 a.m. Friday, July 28.
The completion of the $24 million extension marks an end for now to a debate that began when the Phoenix Department of Street Transportation first brought its plan before the Ahwatukee Foothills Village Planning Committee last August.
