Came up again and put fresh tarmac on the road (10)

I believe the answer is:

resurfaced

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'came up again' is the definition.
('surfaced' is an answer for 'came up' so perhaps 'resurfaced' is OK for 'came up again')

'on the road' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 're' (regarding).
'the road' becomes 'surfaced' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
're'+'surfaced'='RESURFACED'

'and put fresh tarmac' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
