word choice - "By a certain route" vs. "via a certain route"

Beyond doubt it is by a certain route.



via implies through or by way of, which is similar in meaning to route. Therefore, we would not use via and route together.



On the other hand, you could say via a certain point/ place/ other suitable noun, without the use of route.
