Repaired motorway closed (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mended

'repaired' is the definition.
('mend' can be a synonym of 'repair')

'motorway closed' is the wordplay.
'motorway' becomes 'M' (as in motorway names - M1, M4 etc).
'closed' becomes 'ended' (I've seen this in another clue).
'm'+'ended'='MENDED'

(Another definition for mended that I've seen is " Repaired, fixed".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
