M Street Trunk rehabilitation

The M Street Trunk Rehabilitation Project will repair about 2.6 miles of deteriorated sewer pipes in the City of Auburn.

Project description 

The M Street Trunk Rehabilitation Project will repair approximately 2.6 miles of severely deteriorated 18, 24, 30, and 36-inch-diameter reinforced concrete pipe that has more than 100 side sewer connections to nearby properties. The project will also rehabilitate 45 precast maintenance holes.

This pipe serves a densely populated area with many schools, homes, and businesses in the City of Auburn. During construction for the project, there will be impacts to the travelling public including detours, temporary lane closures, and bus stop impacts. We will work with the community to limit these disruptions and will share information about any impacts before they occur.
