Love to rebuild the road east (5)
I believe the answer is:
adore
'love' is the definition.
(adoring is a kind of loving)
'rebuild the road east' is the wordplay.
'rebuild' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
'east' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'road' with letters rearranged gives 'ador'.
'ador'+'e'='ADORE'
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for adore that I've seen before include "Love greatly" , "Honour" , "Love to distraction" , "Worship, idolise" , "Worship, venerate" .)
