I-43 Work Begins, Police Add Officers, North Falls in Regional Play
Sheboygan, WI – March 8, 2026 – I-43 construction ramps up, three new police officers are sworn in, and Sheboygan North exits regional play.
Sheboygan is moving into the second week of March with a mix of road construction, public safety updates, and the close of a local high school postseason run.
I-43 Rehabilitation Project Gets Started
A months-long rehabilitation project along Interstate 43 in Sheboygan County is now underway. The work began this past week and is expected to continue in phases from early March through late fall.
Drivers should prepare for:
- Ramp closures at various points
- Lane adjustments during different construction stages
- Ongoing traffic advisories as work progresses
The project is focused on improving pavement conditions and upgrading key structures along the corridor. While disruptions are expected, officials say the work is being staged to reduce long-term impact and keep traffic moving as efficiently as possible. Commuters are encouraged to stay alert for updated signage and schedule changes throughout the construction season.
Three Officers Sworn In
The Sheboygan Police Department added three new officers to its ranks this week during a formal swearing-in ceremony.
City leaders say the new hires help the department maintain staffing levels while continuing its emphasis on community policing. Strengthening patrol coverage and supporting neighborhood-based public safety programs remain ongoing priorities.
The additions come at a time when many departments are focused on recruitment and retention. Local officials expressed confidence that the new officers will play an important role in serving residents across the city.
Sheboygan North’s Season Ends
On the basketball court, Sheboygan North’s postseason run came to a close Saturday night with an 83-54 regional loss to Brookfield East.
The Raiders remained competitive through the final week of the season and secured a spot in regional play before bowing out. While the loss marks the end of their playoff journey, the team capped off a season that kept them in the hunt through tournament time.
Regional action continues elsewhere as area teams push ahead toward sectional rounds, but for Sheboygan North, the focus now shifts to the offseason and preparations for next year.
From highway improvements to new officers on patrol and the final buzzer of winter sports, it’s been a busy start to March across Sheboygan.
