Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is planning to make commuting on the Western Express Highway (WEH) a bit smoother by making the junctions 'signal-free'.

They're also planning new signages and lane markings on WEH and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC).

Currently, the MMRDA is maintaining the stretch of the WEH between Dahisar and Andheri where the construction of Dahisar East-Andheri East Metro-7 is underway, while the stretch between Andheri and Bandra is maintained by the Public Works Department (PWD).

We expect that installation of signages and lane markings will make the traffic movement smooth considering motorists will be better informed about their location, and where and when they have to take a turn towards their destination. Having underground tunnels is one of the ways how we can decongest the junctions of WEH. We will appoint a consultant who will suggest a plan to make the junctions free of signals," RA Rajeev, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA.

Rajeev said MMRDA is also planning to decongest all the junctions of the WEH in order to make them signal-free.
