By-pass

The new by-pass was much needed.

Could you tell me the meaning of "by-pass" above?

I have looked it up in my dictionary, but I still do not understand it in this context.

Hi, by-pass a new, modern road that allows traffic to go quickly around a town rather than go slowly through it. The word is also used to describe a surgical procedure during which a patient's blood is sent on a different route through part of his body. Clive
