Blockage, hindrance (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

obstacle

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'blockage' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'hindrance' is the second definition.
(I know that obstacle is a type of hindrance)

(Other definitions for obstacle that I've seen before include "Progress blocker" , "The problem" , "Block to progress" , "A spanner in the works?" , "Thing that obstructs progress" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
