Sheboygan Daily: I-43 roadwork, wintry mix risk, and city planning input
Sheboygan, WI – February 24, 2026 – I-43 lane reductions begin March 2, freezing drizzle may hit tonight, and March open houses seek city input.
Top story: I-43 rehab work starts March 2
A major rehab project is about to reshape commutes on I-43 through Sheboygan County. State officials approved a $21 million contract to resurface and maintain a stretch from Lima Road in the Town of Wilson to WIS 42 in Sheboygan. Work is expected to run through fall, with lane reductions in both directions and multiple ramp closures at different stages. If you use I-43 daily, plan a little extra time and watch for shifting traffic patterns as crews move along the corridor.
Weather watch: slick timing for the evening commute
Forecasters are watching a fast-moving system that could drop a quick burst of wet snow, followed by patchy freezing drizzle or light icing. The window looks short, but it may line up with late-afternoon and evening travel. Even a thin glaze can quickly change conditions on bridges, ramps, and untreated side streets.
City planning: two open houses to shape Sheboygan’s next 20 years
The city is inviting residents to weigh in as it updates its 20-year Comprehensive Plan. Two open houses are scheduled for March 19, one midday and one in the evening, aimed at making it easier for people with different schedules to attend. Expect conversation about growth, neighborhood priorities, and the kind of development residents want to see over the next two decades.
