Sheboygan Falls Roundup: I-43 Work Begins, Town Appraisal Notices Sent
It’s been a busy stretch for Sheboygan Falls-area residents, with major highway construction underway, local property assessment notices going out, and another round of winter weather set to affect travel early next week.
I-43 Construction Underway in Sheboygan County
A major Wisconsin Department of Transportation project began March 2 along Interstate 43 in Sheboygan County. The $21 million rehabilitation project covers roughly 10 miles from Wilson/Lima Road to WIS 42.
For Sheboygan Falls commuters who rely on I-43 to reach Sheboygan, Manitowoc, or points south, drivers should expect reduced lanes in both directions and periodic ramp closures through the fall. Work includes milling and resurfacing pavement, bridge maintenance on nine structures, guardrail upgrades, and new pavement markings.
Officials say the improvements are designed to extend the life of the roadway and improve overall safety, but motorists should plan for delays, especially as spring construction activity ramps up.
Town of Sheboygan Falls: Assessment Letters Mailed
The Town of Sheboygan Falls posted a notice March 4 regarding property assessment activity. The town’s contracted assessor, Accurate Appraisal LLC, has sent letters to property owners who pulled building permits in 2025.
Residents who completed home improvements or new construction last year may see updates reflected in upcoming assessments. Property owners with questions about valuation changes are encouraged to review their notices carefully and contact the assessor for clarification.
Assessment updates can affect 2026 property tax bills, making this an important item for homeowners to review now rather than waiting until tax time.
Highway 28/32 Area Project Activity
State transportation documents also show ongoing and planned work tied to the WIS 28 and WIS 32 corridor near Sheboygan Falls, including detour planning and roundabout-related improvements.
While not all phases are active simultaneously, drivers traveling between Sheboygan Falls, Waldo, and surrounding rural areas should remain alert for signage, temporary traffic shifts, and contractor activity as the spring construction season gets underway.
Winter Travel Concerns This Weekend
Weather conditions are expected to deteriorate late Saturday into Sunday and Monday, with snow, rain, and potential freezing rain in the forecast across Sheboygan County. Gusty winds and accumulating snow could create reduced visibility and slick roads.
With ongoing construction and seasonal thaw conditions, residents are encouraged to monitor 511 Wisconsin for up-to-date travel impacts and allow extra time for commuting, especially on I-43 and state highways serving Sheboygan Falls.
Looking Ahead
Spring municipal and school-related meetings typically increase in frequency this time of year, and residents can expect additional updates in the coming weeks on road projects, assessments, and seasonal public works activity as Sheboygan County transitions out of winter.
