Eastern Express Highway, abbreviated toEEH, is a 23.55 km (14.63 mi) long highway connecting the cities ofMumbai andThane.[2] It is one of the busiest roads in theMumbai Metropolitan Area and is a part of theNational Highway 48. It is a north–south artery of Mumbai connecting the city proper to the eastern suburbs and to the metropolitan area ofThane.For most of its course, it is 6 lanes wide (3 lanes in each direction) with over a dozen flyovers/grade separators.
The highway begins at theChhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and stretches up toThane.[3] AtChembur, it cuts off from the Sion Panvel Highway at the RCF Junction (Priyadarshini), to the outer limits of the city. It has heavy traffic during rush hours – southbound traffic in the morning rush hour; while northbound traffic is heavy during the evenings. It is used by an estimated 50,000 passenger cars daily. Towards the south, beyond Sion, it continues as Dr Ambedkar Road. Linking Sion in central Mumbai to Thane and beyond, the Eastern Express Highway is one of the several key roads widened and improved under the Mumbai Urban Infrastructure Project, by firms contracted by theMumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
Link roads connecting WEH (Western Express Highway) and EEH, such as theJogeshwari–Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) andSanta Cruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR) are the major arterial roads of the Mumbai suburban road network. Both the WEH and the EEH run along the north to south direction and are parallel in certain sections.[4]
