Town of Sheboygan Falls, Weekly News Brief (Sheboygan County Focus)
Major I-43 Construction Underway
A major Wisconsin Department of Transportation project began March 2 affecting Interstate 43 through Sheboygan County, including the stretch many Town of Sheboygan Falls residents use to reach Sheboygan and beyond.
The $21 million project covers about 10 miles from Wilson/Lima Road in the Town of Wilson north to WIS 42 in the Town of Sheboygan. Work includes resurfacing pavement, bridge maintenance on nine structures, guardrail updates, and sign replacements. Initial activity involves tree clearing and fencing, with longer-term lane reductions expected to begin later in March.
Drivers should expect reduced lanes in both directions, along with ramp closures at times. The I-43 and Highway 23 interchange is expected to see significant impacts this summer during bridge work. Construction is anticipated to continue into fall 2026. Town residents who commute via I-43 or connect through Highway 23 should plan for extra travel time.
Spring Break Approaches for Area Students
Families connected to the Sheboygan Area School District should note that spring break is scheduled for March 25–27, with an additional no-school day for students on March 30 for staff professional development.
While the Town of Sheboygan Falls is served by the School District of Sheboygan Falls, many area families have ties to SASD programs and activities. With break approaching later this month, it is a good time for families to confirm travel plans, childcare arrangements, and activity schedules.
City of Sheboygan Public Works Update
For Town residents who regularly travel into the City of Sheboygan for work, shopping, or services, the City’s Department of Public Works reports curbside garbage and recycling collection are currently on schedule. As of the latest update, there are no active city road closures reported.
Although this update primarily applies within city limits, it may ease concerns for Town residents commuting into Sheboygan during ongoing interstate construction.
Looking Ahead
With milder early March weather and highway construction beginning, this is a good time for residents to monitor travel routes and upcoming school schedules. As road work expands later this month, additional traffic advisories are likely across Sheboygan County.
