Blast road built by first woman (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pandora

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'first woman' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'blast road built by' is the wordplay.
'blast' becomes 'pan' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'built' indicates anagramming the letters.
'by' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'road' anagrammed gives 'dora'.
'pan'+'dora'='PANDORA'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pandora that I've seen before include "Her box was filled with all the ills of the world" , "First lady" , "In Greek myth, the first woman with disastrous Box" , "First mortal woman of Greek mythology" , "toxic container carrier" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
