Elkhart Lake, Weekly News Brief (Sheboygan County Focus)
Road work & travel
WisDOT’s I-43 resurfacing and bridge work in Sheboygan County is scheduled to begin March 2 with tree clearing and right-of-way fencing, followed by structure work and long-term lane closures starting mid-March. For Elkhart Lake-area drivers heading to Sheboygan/Kohler or connecting via WIS 23, the project outlines a season of lane impacts, with additional ramp and bridge work planned later in 2026.
Key items to note from the project materials: work spans about 10 miles of I-43 from Wilson/Lima Road to WIS 42; long-term lane closures are anticipated mid-March through July; and later phases include intermittent lane closures and targeted ramp closures (including short closures at ramps such as County V, WIS 28, and WIS 42 during paving operations). Check 511 for current conditions before heading out.
Local government & civic meetings
The Wisconsin Towns Association lists a Sheboygan County Unit Meeting on March 5 in Elkhart Lake. These county unit meetings are aimed at town officials and typically include networking, updates, and information to support local governance.
Schools (Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah)
The Elkhart Lake-Glenbeulah School District’s board page posts meeting information, including a published schedule showing the next regular board meeting date of March 16 (meetings begin at 6:00 p.m.).
