Town of Scott, Weekly: I-43 Construction, April 7 Election Nears
Road work and the upcoming spring election are top of mind for Town of Scott residents this week, as regional construction ramps up and local clerks prepare for April 7 voting.
I-43 Construction Impacts Continue
Work along the I-43 corridor in Sheboygan County is now visibly underway, with crews active on segments affecting travel between Sheboygan, Sheboygan Falls and Plymouth. While no full closures are currently scheduled within the Town of Scott, drivers should expect periodic lane shifts, reduced speeds and construction vehicles entering and exiting work zones.
The project is part of the broader I-43 improvements designed to enhance safety and long-term traffic flow. Residents commuting toward Sheboygan or heading south toward Kohler and beyond are encouraged to check 511WI for real-time updates, especially as warmer spring weather accelerates construction schedules.
Spring Election: April 7
The Spring Election will be held Tuesday, April 7, 2026. Town of Scott voters will head to their designated polling location to cast ballots for statewide and local races.
In-person absentee voting is underway in many Sheboygan County municipalities. Voters planning to cast an absentee ballot should confirm hours directly with the Town Clerk. Those voting on Election Day should verify their polling place, bring an acceptable photo ID, and allow extra time if voting before or after work.
With the election just over a week away, residents who still need to register can do so online through MyVote Wisconsin or in person at the clerk’s office prior to Election Day, or at the polls on April 7.
County-Level Leadership Change in Health System
Ascension Wisconsin announced this week that CEO Daniel Jackson will step down. While the transition is statewide, Ascension operates facilities that serve Sheboygan County residents, including hospital and clinic services many Town of Scott families rely on.
Health system leadership changes can influence long-term planning, staffing and service availability. Patients are not expected to see immediate changes, but residents may want to follow updates as the organization names new leadership.
Looking Ahead: Road Conditions and Spring Weather
Forecasts show milder temperatures heading into Sunday and Monday, with highs reaching around 60 degrees before rain chances increase early next week. Warmer weather typically means additional road maintenance activity across rural town roads, including pothole patching and shoulder grading.
Town of Scott residents are encouraged to report significant road concerns to town officials and to use caution on gravel and rural routes as frost conditions shift.
