Waldo Roundup: I-43 Lane Closures, SASD Quarter Change
It’s a quieter week in Waldo itself, but several Sheboygan County updates will directly affect local commuters, students, and families in the days ahead.
I-43 Lane Closures Continue Near Sheboygan
Drivers heading south toward Sheboygan or north toward Manitowoc should plan for continued construction impacts on Interstate 43.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation has ongoing single-lane closures in both directions between Wilson/Lima Road and Highway 42 as part of a major rehabilitation project. Additional short-term closures were in place through late this week, layered on top of longer-term single-lane restrictions between Highway 28 and Highway 42 that are scheduled to last into early summer.
For Waldo residents who commute daily via Highway 57 to I-43 or connect through Sheboygan, travel times may remain longer than usual. Motorists are encouraged to check 511WI before heading out, especially with spring rain and fog in the forecast this weekend.
Sheboygan Area School District: Fourth Quarter Begins
For Waldo-area families with students in the Sheboygan Area School District, the academic calendar shifts next week.
The district’s third quarter wrapped up April 2, and fourth quarter classes begin Monday, April 6. There was no school Friday, April 3, due to recess on the district calendar.
Looking ahead, the Board of Education will hold committee meetings on April 14 at 6:00 p.m. at the district’s Administrative Services Building on Stahl Road in Sheboygan. Families who wish to follow district policy discussions or budget planning for the 2026–27 school year may attend.
Community Book Club Rescheduled April 8
Residents looking for a midweek activity can join a rescheduled adult book club at Mead Public Library in Sheboygan on Wednesday, April 8, from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m.
The In the Weeds Book Club meeting was moved after a previous weather cancellation. While held in Sheboygan, the program is open to county residents, including those from Waldo. The discussion will take place in Public Conference Room 2.
Community Blood Drive April 15
The Sheboygan Fire Department, in partnership with Aurora Medical Center EMS and Versiti Blood Center of Wisconsin, is hosting a community blood drive on Wednesday, April 15, from 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. at Fire Station 3 Headquarters on North 25th Street in Sheboygan.
Blood remains a limited resource that cannot be manufactured, and organizers say donations are especially important this time of year. Waldo residents willing to make the short drive can schedule an appointment or attend during open hours.
Looking Ahead
With shifting weather this weekend — including rain chances, fog, and breezy conditions — commuters should remain alert for construction zones and reduced visibility. Warmer, mostly sunny conditions are expected Sunday, which may ease travel for weekend errands and activities.
