Marysville LID 2nd Street

Marysville Infrastructure Project

‍Managing urban traffic while replacing aging underground utilities often leads to costly project delays. Discover how SRV Construction safely modernized the Marysville Second Street corridor ahead of schedule.

Project Overview

The Client: The City of Marysville Public Works Department is a municipal agency focused on community infrastructure and environmental stewardship.

The Challenge: The city faced aging cast-iron water systems, inadequate stormwater management along Second Street, and a critical need for modernized traffic channelization.

The Solution: We provided comprehensive Low Impact Development services, leveraging our expertise in heavy civil construction to address their unique needs while minimizing disruption to active traffic.

The Result: Through our tailored approach, the City of Marysville achieved complete infrastructure modernization, demonstrating measurable improvement in stormwater runoff management and community accessibility.

The Client

The City of Marysville Public Works Department operates in the municipal government sector, specializing in public infrastructure development. With a strong commitment to environmental stewardship, they needed a partner who understood the complexities of active traffic management and sustainable urban design.

Their commitment to quality and regulatory compliance made them an ideal fit for our transparent and collaborative approach. SRV Construction, based in Oak Harbor, Washington, specializes in site development and heavy civil construction for clients throughout Washington State and the Pacific Northwest.

The Challenge

When the City of Marysville approached us, they were struggling with three primary infrastructure vulnerabilities.

• Aging Water Systems: The existing cast-iron central water systems were outdated, posing a risk of failure and increasing the municipality’s ongoing maintenance costs.

• Stormwater Runoff: The lack of advanced bioretention systems allowed untreated runoff to impact local water quality and environmental health.

• Traffic and Accessibility: The corridor required modernized traffic channelization and ADA-compliant upgrades, all of which had to be installed while safely managing active traffic.

These challenges were preventing them from achieving their urban sustainability goals, creating a sense of urgency for a reliable, expert solution that could deliver results without disrupting daily civic operations.

The Solution

Our team developed a customized strategy tailored to the City of Marysville's municipal needs.

Discovery and Planning

We began with a comprehensive assessment of the Second Street corridor, spanning from Columbia Avenue to Forty-Seventh Avenue. This allowed us to create a detailed project plan with clear milestones, balancing utility replacement with complex traffic control measures. Securing local permits and scheduling utility shutoffs early in the planning phase are crucial steps we take to prevent costly delays down the line.

Implementation

Leveraging our decades of expertise in site development and infrastructure, we deployed an advanced LID solution. Our approach included three main components.

Water Main Replacement: We completely replaced the aging cast-iron systems to ensure reliable water service and improved flow capacity for decades to come.

Bioretention Systems: We constructed advanced bioretention areas, bulb-outs, and boulevard medians to create an integrated stormwater management system that naturally filters runoff.

Accessibility Enhancements: We installed ADA-compliant parking stalls and revised traffic circles to meet federal standards and improve pedestrian safety.

Ongoing Support

Throughout the project, we maintained transparent communication with city officials, providing regular progress updates. Our team remained flexible, adapting our traffic management approach as needed to ensure optimal safety for both our crew and local commuters.

The Results

Our partnership with the City of Marysville delivered measurable success and sustainable outcomes ahead of schedule.

• Environmental Impact: We successfully deployed a system that reduces runoff and improves water quality, supported by grant funding from the Washington State Department of Ecology.

• Utility Modernization: We replaced the entire cast-iron water system to guarantee reliable water service and reduce municipal maintenance requirements.

• Community Safety: We delivered fully ADA-compliant parking and modernized traffic circles without compromising daily commuter safety or local access.

These outcomes exceeded initial environmental projections and positioned the City of Marysville for continued sustainable growth in its community.

Summary

The Marysville LID Second Street project demonstrates how innovative construction techniques can solve complex municipal challenges.
