Route 128

History

Route 128 was commissioned in 1965, taking over a small part of the former Route 30. It was extended north from Berry Mills in 1997 to Lutes Mountain along a former alignment of Route 2, and shortened in 2003 when the portion of Killam Drive east of Wheeler Boulevard was turned over to City of Moncton control.

Guide

The Berry Mills Road follows a former rail line. When two rival lines, who had built within literally feet of each other, merged in the early 20th century, one was torn up and turned into a road bed. Fortunately for motorists, the one that was torn up was much straighter than the other, and the Berry Mills Road is unusually straight for a road in the Moncton area. The Berry Mills Road is the quickest access road into downtown Moncton from the west.

The portion between Berry Mills and Lutes Mountain is a former alignment of the Trans-Canada, a relic of which is the now little-used interchange at the Berry Mills/Homestead junction, not to mention the numerous abandoned motels and truck stops in the Lutes Mountain area.
