Route 128 is a provincial highway in New Brunswick, Canada. The highway goes from Route 126 in Lutes Mountain to Route 15 in Moncton.

History

Most of Route 128 follows a former rail line. When two rival lines, who had built tracks within feet of each other, merged in the early 20th century, one of the tracks 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.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Westmorland County.
