Which is correct, "underway" or "under way"?

Persephonee · 22-25, F
Under way is an adverb ("The coronation weekend is under way"), but underway is an adjective ("The underway coronation weekend is being marred by a lot of rain in much of England").

Who says English isn't a simple language!?

Thank you. I just saw a signboard saying

" THE JUBILATION IS UNDER WAY" in a London subway station on CNN news. Hence this question.

Both are correct. Can be spelt as one word or as two separate ones.

Depends if it comes before a noun or after a verb
