==Background==
[[File:Andheri-Flyover.jpg|thumb|right|Andheri Flyover]]
This highway has been instrumental in reducing congestion on SV Road in western Part of the city.{{Citation needed|date=March 2012}} There are several flyovers built along sections Western Express Highway. The Andheri [[Overpass|Flyover]] (opened in 2002) was one of the flyovers built over the Western Express Highway to avoid [[traffic lights]] for vehicles moving towards Vile Parle, Bandra and so on. Recently another project has been undertaken by the [[MSRDC]] to construct a flyover bridge from Vile Parle Onwards to avoid regular [[traffic jams]] that occur on the Highway. Other flyovers on the highway are the National Park, Dindoshi, Thakur Complex, [[Times of India]], Pathanwadi, Goregaon, [[JVLR]], Centaur, Vakola, and the newly opened Kherwadi flyovers. Motorists can now travel with no traffic signal from Dahisar till Bandra. New [[Cat's eye (road)|reflectors]] are installed on the Express highway for better visibility of the road during the night. Signs showing directions have also been set up at major junctions of the highway. Over the past decade, there have been major improvements including installation of better signage, improvements to landscaping and the introduction of marked lanes, painted kerbsides and pedestrian bridges.

The airport flyover, also known as [[Sahar Elevated Access Road]], connects to the WEH using tunnels and bridges. The airport flyover was finished in 2014, and motorists on the WEH are able to access the new terminal with ease. The other alternative to the SEAR, is to turn east on to local streets which are relatively narrow, have poor lighting and have lower speed limits. The statue of The Chhtrapati Shivaji is placed near the entrance of the SEAR; previously this statue was located at the Sahar terminal of the airport.

Link roads connecting WEH and EEH such as the [[Jogeshwari – Vikhroli Link Road]] (JVLR) and [[Santa Cruz – Chembur Link Road]] (SCLR) are the major arterial roads of the Mumbai suburban road network. Both the WEH and the EEH run along north to south direction and are parallel in certain sections.<ref name="worldbank3">{{cite web|title=EA/EMP report of JVLR (Jogeshwari - Vikhroli Road) project under MUTP : Mumbai.
