The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has announced plans to upgrade key roads in Musaffah, improving journeys between the industrial area, Mohamed Bin Zayed City and Zayed City. The project covers approximately 13 kilometres along E30 and 8th Street in Musaffah, aiming to ease congestion, make journeys safer and reduce overall travel times.
A core component is a new free-flowing highway along 8th Street featuring three lanes in each direction, flanked by three additional lanes on each side to enhance accessibility to shops and amenities without disturbing the expressway's traffic. In total, the street will accommodate an estimated 4,000 vehicles per hour.
Additional enhancement works include upgrades to four interchanges along E30, better connections with 8th Street and E20, and modifications to nine key junctions. Plans are also underway for two new bridges between Musaffah and Mohamed Bin Zayed City, plus one dedicated to pedestrians.
The Musaffah project complements wider efforts to strengthen connectivity across the emirate, including a planned two-tunnel undersea link between the eastern tip of Abu Dhabi Island to Musaffah.
