Definition
修路 is a separable verb (离合词) meaning 'to repair/build a road'. The verb 修 and the noun 路 can be split when inserting a measure word, duration, or result: 修了一条路 ('built a road'), 修了三个月路 ('repaired the road for three months'). You cannot put an object after 修路 — the road is already part of the word. For a specific road, use 修这条路 or separate: 修这条路修了半年.
