southbound travelers. Picture taken: July 10th, 2006. Size: 45kb. |

| City of Moncton |
Advanced signage for the Route 126 interchange.
Because of some relatively closely spaced interchanges through Moncton on
Route 2, advanced signage is placed closer to the interchange (in this case
only 1km in advance) rather then the 2km advanced signage that is more
typical throughout the province.

View driving westbound at the western at-grade railway crossing on the
Moncton By-pass. It is quite surprising that New Brunswick's
Department of Transportation would have left these railway crossings
at-grade, as the Moncton by-pass was upgraded to a freeway quite recently
(1994).

View looking westerly towards the Pont Rouge Road interchange. The

partial interchanges that are split about 2km apart. Surprisingly, the
same exit number is used for both the eastern and western portions of the
interchange.
