obras de recuperação a serem feitas em rodovias pelo ganhador da licitação; estas variantes me parecem ser alças de acesso que saem da rodovia principal, mas não tenho certeza; e os contornos, não sei se seria o mesmo que retorno, ou modificar o contorno da estrada, o traçado, não conheço os termos neste contexto nem em português.

detour = desvio
contour = construir (estrada) de conformidade com a topografia da área.
