Town of Rhine, Weekly: April 7 Election, I-43 Construction Impacts
It is a busy stretch for Town of Rhine residents, with the April 7 spring election approaching, major highway construction underway in Sheboygan County, and school and community updates affecting local families.
April 7 Spring Election: Key Dates Ahead
The Spring General Election will be held Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Voters across Sheboygan County will weigh in on a Wisconsin Supreme Court race and other local offices.
Municipal clerks are preparing ballots now, with absentee voting and early in-person voting expected to begin later this month. For Town of Rhine residents, this means watching for absentee ballots by mail and checking registration status before heading to the polls.
Statewide, the election includes a 10-year term on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Locally, voters may also see county or school-related races depending on district boundaries. Residents are encouraged to confirm polling hours and absentee procedures through their municipal clerk in advance of April 7.
I-43 Reconstruction Underway in Sheboygan County
Major reconstruction work on Interstate 43 in Sheboygan County began March 2 and is expected to continue through the construction season.
According to local reports and the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, drivers should expect ongoing lane shifts and work zones along the corridor. While the most disruptive interchange work is projected for later this summer, early-stage construction is already in progress.
For Town of Rhine residents commuting toward Sheboygan, Manitowoc, or connections via Highway 23, extra travel time and reduced speeds should be anticipated. Officials urge drivers to slow down in work zones and monitor 511 Wisconsin for real-time updates.
Town of Rhine Board and Ordinance Updates
The Town of Rhine Board of Supervisors recently posted materials related to Ordinance 2026-1, which repeals and recreates Chapter 8 of the town code. Residents interested in zoning, land use, or regulatory updates should review posted agendas and minutes on the town website.
Staying informed about board actions is especially important in smaller towns, where ordinance revisions can directly affect property rules, permitting, and enforcement standards.
Plymouth School District Community Notes
Families in the Town of Rhine are primarily served by the Plymouth School District. The district continues to share community programming and updates through its website, including recreational and educational opportunities for residents.
Earlier this year, the district promoted open indoor walking times at Plymouth High School and other community education offerings. As winter weather lingers and another round of snow and mixed precipitation is forecast this weekend, indoor activity options remain valuable for local families.
Parents should also keep an eye on district communications as spring break approaches later this month.
Looking Ahead
Over the next two weeks, key items for Town of Rhine residents include confirming voter registration, planning for potential highway delays tied to I-43 construction, and monitoring town meeting postings for any ordinance or board action updates.
With election season and road construction both ramping up, early planning will help residents avoid last-minute surprises.
