What are Detours in construction?

Detours in construction refer to temporary alternative routes created to redirect traffic or pedestrians around roadwork, construction sites, or other blockages.

Detours are carefully planned and marked with signage to ensure that vehicles and people can navigate efficiently until the main route is reopened. The planning and implementation of a detour often involve coordination with local authorities and traffic management experts.
