Project Facts
- An average of 28,000 vehicles travel this section of SR 528 each day.
- Repaving SR 528 will save taxpayers the costs of expensive temporary repairs.
- SR 528 is an important commuter route for Marysville drivers headed toward I-5. Approximately 2,300 vehicles enter southbound I-5 at SR 528 each morning between 6:30 a.m. and 8 a.m.
Overview
We will remove existing pavement and resurface half a mile of State Route 528 (4th Street) between I-5 and SR 529 (State Avenue) in Marysville. We will also replace a water line for the City of Marysville and complete several safety improvements along SR 528 between I-5 and SR 529.
Why is WSDOT
paving this section of SR 528?
The pavement along this section of SR 528 is rutted and cracking due to age and high traffic volumes. Repaving will end costly temporary repairs, provide drivers with a safe and smooth ride, and ensure that the roadway will last well into the future.
The End Result
Drivers will notice a new, smooth road surface, updated signing, pavement markings, and sidewalk ramps.
Project Benefits
Safety - New pavement, signing, and pavement markings will improve driver safety. Updated sidewalk ramps will provide safe pedestrian access to sidewalks along this busy highway.
Economic Incentive - Repaving the highway will extend the lifespan of the pavement and will reduce costly and inconvenient repairs.

Increasing safety is one of our priorities
New pavement will improve driver safety by eliminating cracks, potholes, and rough patches and by providing a smooth driving surface.
Updated sidewalk ramps will improve pedestrian safety and bring sidewalk access up to the most current ADA standards.
Our crews will follow the most current guidelines for traffic control to keep drivers and construction workers safe.
Will this project impact tribal resources?
At WSDOT we seek to address the concerns of the tribal nations using the process outlined in Section 106 of The National Historic Preservation Act and the WSDOT Tribal Consultation Policy adopted in 2003 by the Transportation Commission as part of the WSDOT Centennial Accord Plan.
