Spanish term
Tramo en variante
Spanish to English
Tech/Engineering
Construction / Civil Engineering
Hi everyone,
Here is the full sentence:
La traza cuenta con dos tramos en variante, para evitar afecciones al pinar y al yacimiento arqueológico.
I had put "bypasses" but I just think this means that the road deviates to avoid these two areas, which made me change it to "deviation". However, I'm still unsure if "bypass" would be the better option, although they don't appear to be different roads, just sections of a single motorway.
Any suggestions would be very welcome!
Nick

Found this: "In the United States, the term shoofly – a borrowing from railroad jargon – is also sometimes used to refer to a short temporary roadway built to bypass a construction site or other temporary obstruction. The U.S. Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices uses the term 'diversion.'"
I also saw "relief road" used elsewhere, though I think this would depend on the rest of the text.

Aunque DRAE define 'variante' (en este contexto) como "Desviación provisional o definitiva de un trecho de una carretera o camino" [https://dle.rae.es/variante?m=form], en España lo usual es denominar 'variante' a una desviación permanente y 'desviación' a una provisional.
