ABU DHABI: Abu Dhabi Ports, the master developer, operator and manager of the emirate’s commercial and community ports as well as Khalifa Industrial Zone, has hailed the opening of the new Mohammed bin Rashid Road as a “major milestone”. Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports, said in a statement that the new highway, which opened on Tuesday, will enable Khalifa Port’s expansion and growth plans.
Al Shamisi said the motorway will serve as a strategic artery linking Abu Dhabi with the rest of UAE as well as the neighbouring countries, enhancing the emirate’s position in regional and international trade. He added: “Abu Dhabi’s rapid expansion through large-scale infrastructure and construction projects has given rise to the need for a modern network of highways, to keep pace with the significant growth in truck traffic – both container and construction trucks.
