According to the Highway Authority, the work will commence from the Accra bound section of the motorway.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are therefore entreating motorists to respect police officers and contractor flagmen who are there to secure their safety, and also adhere to directional and safety signages made available at appropriate sections during this period, to minimize and curb accidents. Any inconvenience caused is deeply regretted,\u201d the Authority added.<\/p>\n
