Route around a construction area, say (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

detour

(Other definitions for detour that I've seen before include "Roundabout way or bypass" , "Go round an obstruction" , "Circuitous alternative to direct path" , "Deviation from usual course" , "Way round the roadblock" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
