Currently taking an alternative route or making a detour; the ongoing process of going a different way than usual.
Present participle of detour, adding -ing to detour (from French détour). This is the continuous form showing an action in progress.
The -ing form of detour captures something interesting about travel: unlike 'detoured' (finished), 'detouring' suggests you're still on that alternate route, unsure when you'll get back to the main road.
