Motorway closed, getting repaired (6)
I believe the answer is:
mended
'repaired' is the definition.
('mend' can be a synonym of 'repair')
'motorway closed getting' is the wordplay.
'motorway' becomes 'M' (as in motorway names - M1, M4 etc).
'closed' becomes 'ended' (I've seen this in another clue).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'm'+'ended'='MENDED'
(Another definition for mended that I've seen is " Repaired, fixed".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
