Break in street with work finished (8)
I believe the answer is:
stopover
'break' is the definition.
'street with work finished' is the wordplay.
'street' becomes 'st'.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'finished' becomes 'over' ('over' can be similar in meaning to 'finished').
'st'+'op'+'over'='STOPOVER'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for stopover that I've seen before include "Overnight stay" , "Stay (of just one night?)" , "that hotel can provide?" , "bed and breakfast?" , "Break in a journey" .)
