  "summary": "Abu Dhabi is planning major road upgrades in Mussaffah to alleviate congestion and enhance connectivity. The Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) has announced plans to upgrade 13 kilometres of roads along the E30 and 8th Street corridors, with the aim of improving safety and reducing travel times. Central to the project is a new free-flowing motorway at 8th Street, featuring three lanes in each direction and additional service lanes to maintain access to shops and businesses. The wider project includes upgrades to four interchanges along E30, improved connections with 8th Street and E20, modifications to nine key junctions, two new bridges linking Mussaffah with Mohamed Bin Zayed City, and a dedicated pedestrian bridge. Director General of Infrastructure Development at DMT, Eisa Mubarak Al Mazrouei, emphasized that the upgrades are designed to serve the varied demands placed on Mussaffah's road network, supporting economic activity while making everyday journeys easier and safer.",
