How is the word 'ahead' an adverb when in 'the way ahead was blocked' it seems to modify the noun 'way'?
If you rephrase it "The road was blocked ahead" it is more obviously saying "where" rather than describing the road. This is also the case for the terms "the way forward" or "the path ahead."
Ahead seems less ambiguously an adjective when it describes someone being "ahead" in a competition, and also in the prepositional phrase "(the person) ahead of me."
Some sources pedantically insist that it is an adverb in all of these cases, ignoring any difference between "in front" and "frontwards."
