It has been considered, and today we are happy that it has been opened with a toll booth so that residents and other commuters on this part of the road will pay before having access to the motorway,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is temporary, but with the engineer and the community, we are coming together to make it more accessible, redesign the whole thing to make the motorway safer and permanent,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>While commending government for addressing their problem swiftly, Lloyd Ashley said the long-term plan is also to help motorists driving from Tema to Accra to easily exit the motorway at the new access route.<\/p>\n<p>Drivers of salon cars will pay 50 pesewas, while drivers of SUVs pay GH\u00a2 1.00 to use the access route.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Business News of Thursday, 14 December 2017 Source: citifmonline.com 2017-12-14 The Ghana Highways Authority has granted the residents a temporary access to the Tema Motorway Residents of Accra\u2019s plush Trasacco Valley, can now heave a sigh of relief after the Ghana Highways Authority granted them paid temporary access to the Tema Motorway on Thursday.
