Town of Scott, Weekly: I-43 Construction Updates and April 7 Election
Town of Scott residents are heading into a busy early April week, with major road construction planning and the April 7 spring election at the top of the list.
Spring Election Set for April 7
The Spring Election takes place Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Town of Scott voters will join residents across Sheboygan County in casting ballots for statewide judicial races, local offices, and school board seats.
Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters who have not yet returned absentee ballots should check deadlines closely and confirm their polling location in advance. As always, a valid photo ID is required.
Residents with questions about registration status, polling locations, or absentee ballot procedures can use MyVote Wisconsin or contact the Town Clerk directly before Election Day.
I-43 Construction Work Continues in Northern Sheboygan County
Planning and staging work tied to the I-43 improvement project between Sheboygan and Manitowoc counties continues to affect traffic patterns near the Town of Scott.
WisDOT’s long-term reconstruction and expansion project is expected to bring periodic lane shifts, reduced speeds, and temporary ramp closures along stretches of I-43 that serve Town of Scott commuters. Drivers traveling south toward Sheboygan or north toward Manitowoc should plan for changing conditions this spring.
Residents are encouraged to monitor 511WI for up-to-date lane closure information and allow extra travel time, especially during morning and late afternoon commuting hours.
University of Wisconsin System Leadership Debate
Statewide coverage this week has focused on leadership tensions within the Universities of Wisconsin system. While centered at the state level, the issue has implications for students and families across Sheboygan County who attend UW campuses, including UW-Green Bay and UW-Milwaukee.
Discussions among state leaders about the future of the UW system president could influence administrative direction, funding priorities, and policy decisions that affect regional campuses serving local students.
Looking Ahead: Road Conditions and Weather
Weather this weekend includes a chance of rain showers Saturday with areas of fog and temperatures near 50 degrees. Sunday is expected to be mostly sunny but breezy. Early-week forecasts call for a slight chance of rain and snow showers Monday with overnight lows dipping into the 20s.
Drivers should remain alert for reduced visibility during fog and any slick spots during overnight temperature drops, particularly on rural roads in the Town of Scott.
