Mead Avenue Closed Between S. 12th and S. 10th Streets in Sheboygan Starting April 20
Sheboygan, WI April 23, 2026.
Drivers in Sheboygan should plan around an active road closure on Mead Avenue this week. The City of Sheboygan says Mead Avenue between South 12th Street and South 10th Street closed to through traffic starting Monday, April 20, 2026, and the closure remains in effect as of Thursday, April 23.
What’s closed right now
The affected stretch is Mead Avenue between South 12th Street and South 10th Street in Sheboygan. According to the city, the road is closed to through traffic, and there is no posted detour.
That means drivers heading through the area will need to use nearby neighborhood streets and allow a little extra time, especially during weekday commutes, school pickups, and local errands.
Residents still have access
The city says residents in the area will continue to have access during construction. So while through traffic cannot use this section of Mead Avenue right now, the closure does not mean nearby homes are cut off.
If you live on or near this block, it is still a good idea to expect slower movement, construction activity, and changing access conditions while crews are working.
Why the road is closed
This is more than a quick patch job. The city’s notice says the project includes storm sewer improvements, a new crosswalk at South 11th Street, curb and gutter repairs, and concrete panel replacement.
Those upgrades are aimed at both street conditions and pedestrian improvements along the corridor, which helps explain why the block needs to be closed to regular through traffic.
What drivers should do next
If Mead Avenue is part of your regular route, avoid this block for now and build in a few extra minutes when traveling on the city’s south side. Because no official detour is posted, the best move is to follow local street access signs and use caution on nearby residential streets.
For updates, readers should check official City of Sheboygan and Sheboygan Department of Public Works channels, where the city posts current notices and contact information tied to street work.
