'Transportweg' (transport route) is made up of 'Transport' (transport) and 'Weg' (path / route). It therefore refers to a route used for transport; the base word 'Weg' describes the type of term it is.

The transport route between the factory and the warehouse is well developed.
'Transportweg' (transport route) is often used to describe where a route leads: 'Der Transportweg führt über einen Ort' (The transport route runs through a place) or 'vom Ausgangspunkt zum Ziel' (from the starting point to the destination). After 'über' (through / via), a specific route or place follows.
Der Transportweg führt vom Werk über eine Nebenstraße zum Hafen.
The transport route runs from the factory via a side road to the port.
Common collocations include 'kurzer' or 'langer Transportweg' (short or long transport route), 'direkter Transportweg' (direct transport route), as well as 'einen Transportweg optimieren' (to optimize a transport route) or 'verkürzen' (to shorten it). These expressions are especially common when planning deliveries.
