Bearing to consider reportedly in road (11)
I believe the answer is:
carriageway
'road' is the definition.
(carriageway is a kind of road)
'bearing to consider reportedly' is the wordplay.
'bearing' becomes 'carriage' ('carriage' can be a synonym of 'bearing').
'to consider reportedly' becomes 'way' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'carriage'+'way'='CARRIAGEWAY'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for carriageway that I've seen is " Part of road, often dual".)
