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.

Active construction is anticipated to occur during the summer window (May to October) of 2025 to 2026 when the wastewater flow is lower.

Project area displaying 5 zones (work areas) and timeframe: Zone 36 (2026), Zone 30 (2026), Zone 30 (2025 and 2026), Zone 24 (2025) and Zone 18 (2025)

The M Street Trunk 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. Additional impacts may include on-street parking restrictions, and noise and odors from the diversion pumps. This project may include overnight work. We will share more details as plans develop and will keep the community informed.
