Crossing Jordan almost spoiled by sycophancy (4,8)

I believe the answer is:

road junction

'crossing' is the definition.

'jordan almost spoiled by sycophancy' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'spoiled' is an anagram indicator.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'sycophancy' becomes 'unction'.
'jordan' with its last letter taken off is 'jorda'.
'jorda' is an anagram of 'roadj'.
'roadj'+'unction'='ROAD JUNCTION'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
