Oostburg Weekly: I-43 Work Continues, Spring Election Ahead
Oostburg heads into the final stretch of March with road construction, election planning, and spring transitions shaping the week. Here is what residents should know.
I-43 Construction Continues Near Oostburg
Work along the I-43 corridor in Sheboygan County remains underway, affecting drivers traveling to and from Oostburg. Lane shifts and periodic ramp impacts are part of the ongoing improvement project in the area.
Residents commuting north toward Sheboygan or south toward Port Washington should allow extra time, especially during peak weekday hours. The Wisconsin Department of Transportation continues to post updates and traffic changes as the project progresses into spring construction season.
With fluctuating late-winter weather this weekend, including a chance of rain and light snow, drivers are also encouraged to watch for changing road conditions.
Winter Parking Restrictions Have Ended
Oostburg’s seasonal winter parking restrictions have officially wrapped up for the season. The end of winter parking rules means overnight on-street parking is again permitted under normal village regulations.
While snow season appears to be winding down, residents are still reminded to stay alert for any temporary restrictions if late-season snowfall requires plowing.
Spring Election Set for April 7
The next major date for local voters is the Spring Election on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Ballots will include local and state-level races that affect Sheboygan County communities, including Oostburg-area voters.
Residents who plan to vote absentee should check registration status, polling locations, and deadlines well in advance. Early voting and absentee ballot procedures are available through municipal clerks and the state’s election website.
With just over two weeks until Election Day, now is the time to confirm registration information or request absentee ballots if needed.
Schools Enter Spring Break Stretch
Oostburg-area schools are approaching spring break at the end of March, aligning with many Sheboygan County districts. Families should review district calendars for specific dates and any schedule adjustments.
Community programs and youth activities may shift hours during the break period, so checking ahead with local organizations is recommended.
Looking Ahead
As March transitions toward April, road construction activity is expected to increase, and election preparations will intensify across the county. Residents are encouraged to monitor official village and county channels for meeting agendas, notices, and any service updates.
