Town of Scott Weekly: I-43 Work Underway, April 7 Election Approaches
Town of Scott residents are seeing the return of orange barrels along I-43 while preparations continue for the April 7 spring election. Here is what to know this week.
I-43 Construction Season Begins
Road work along Interstate 43 in Sheboygan County is now underway as part of the state’s ongoing corridor improvements. Drivers traveling between Plymouth, Sheboygan, and points south should expect lane shifts, reduced speeds, and intermittent ramp impacts in the coming weeks.
For Town of Scott residents who rely on I-43 for commuting or farm transport, this means building extra time into daily travel. WisDOT has indicated that much of the early work involves shoulder grading, barrier placement, and preparation for more substantial construction later this spring and summer.
Motorists are encouraged to monitor 511WI for up-to-date lane closures and traffic conditions, especially during weekday peak hours.
April 7 Spring Election Ahead
The Spring Election on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, is just over two weeks away. Town of Scott voters will weigh in on local and county races, along with statewide contests.
Sheboygan County election officials remind residents that early in-person absentee voting is available through their municipal clerk ahead of Election Day. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 7.
A recent Sheboygan-area voter guide outlined candidate priorities for county board and local offices, giving residents a chance to compare positions on spending, infrastructure, and public safety. Voters are encouraged to confirm their registration status and polling location in advance to avoid delays.
County Road Conditions After March Snow
Earlier March snowfall brought significant accumulation across parts of Sheboygan County, with some rural areas reporting heavy totals. While major highways are clear, secondary town roads and low-lying areas have experienced freeze-thaw cycles this week.
Town of Scott drivers, particularly those operating agricultural equipment or heavy trucks, should watch for soft shoulders and potholes developing as temperatures fluctuate. Reporting road damage to town or county officials can help prioritize spring repair work.
Schools and Spring Break Timing
Several Sheboygan County school districts are approaching spring break at the end of March. Families in the Town of Scott who are served by nearby districts should confirm specific break dates and any schedule adjustments.
With break travel and daytime activities increasing, local officials encourage safe driving near bus routes and school zones over the next week as routines shift.
Looking Ahead
In the coming week, residents should watch for posted notices regarding local meeting agendas, road postings related to seasonal weight limits, and additional election reminders from municipal offices.
As construction season ramps up and the spring election approaches, the next few weeks will bring several opportunities for Town of Scott residents to stay engaged and plan ahead.
