I agree that it seems that roads get completely closed for repair more often than they used to. I guess the reasoning is that the job is completed sooner, so the total disturbance is less. I recall being irritated by Route Barree signs in France 20 or more years ago, and having to find detours for myself.
But I get more irritated by the duration of closures after even fairly minor motorway incidents. The authorities have assumed the right to take as long as they like measuring things and tidying up. The recent incident on M55/M6, which happened in the late evening, closed the road until the middle of the next morning. Of course we don't know the full story, but AFAIK there was only one car involved, being chased of course.
