Road prop two engineers replaced for all to see (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

street

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

'road' is the definition.
(I know that Street is a type of road)

'prop two engineers replaced for all to see' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'engineers' could be 're' (Royal Engineers) and 're' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'stet' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for street that I've seen before include "lane" , "Thoroughfare lined with buildings" , "City thoroughfare" , "Road lined with houses" , "See 14" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
