People driving north to south on U.S. 63 or east to west on U.S. 2 are forced to use long detours, taking them hours out of the way in some cases. Bayfield County tourism director Mary Motiff said it’s not what they’d like to see during their busiest season of the year. She said some businesses rely solely on income from summer tourists to make it through the rest of the year.

"Viable ways" = "hours out of their way".  People driving north to south on U.S. 63 or east to west on U.S. 2 are forced to use long detours, taking them hours out of the way in some cases. Bayfield County tourism director Mary Motiff said it’s not what they’d like to see during their busiest season of the year. She said some businesses rely solely on income from summer tourists to make it through the rest of the year. 

In many cases, it took a month -- 4 precious weeks out of northern Wisconsin's summer tourism season -- for roads to reopen.

And when it comes to keeping pace with basic road maintenance, Walker, in his 6th year as Governor, continues to offer no viable solutions.
