Route 128 is a provincial highway in the Canadian province of New Brunswick. The Highway starts out in Lutes Mountain as the Homestead Road at a sharp turn on Route 126. The road travels in a horseshoe pattern through several small communities and finally through the city of Moncton. In the Community of Berry Mills, the road does change to Berry Mills Road and continues though Moncton Changing over to Killam Drive and ending at the Intersection of Mountain Road.

History

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. 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.
