Brecknell Way Loop Road Now Open, 4-23

NEW TRAFFIC PATTERN

The opening of Brecknell Way, a loop road that will help ease congestion along Route 206 at Route 518, followed a celebration by the township today. 

Officials and partners proudly cut the ribbon on this new road, a connector of Route 206 / Route 518 that loops by the Village Walk shopping area west of Route 206.

Brecknell Way is a right-in / right-out-only roadway on both ends - Rt. 206 and Rt. 518 (click for enlarged map ). Please abide by traffic signs and traffic flow structures.

Brecknell Way has sidewalks providing safe access to shops and restaurants for pedestrians, especially by those walking from nearby neighborhoods off Village and Vreeland Drives. Motorists should be alert to pedestrian movement and pedestrians are advised to use crosswalks.

Mayor Neena Singh commented, “Montgomery has long planned for the creation of linkages to ease traffic along Route 206 on our southern end. It is a great day to see this road opened! There are other loop roads under construction nearby which will also alleviate traffic congestion at Routes 206 and 518.”

Developers Sharbell Development Corporation and Pugliese Properties were key collaborators with the Township on Brecknell Way, a long-anticipated traffic improvement project.

The other loop roads under construction include final connection of Village Drive across from ShopRite and two other roads by SJC Developer, improvements related to Montgomery Promenade. These improvements will upgrade the 206/518 intersection, remove north/south left-hand turning movements from 206 onto 518, and reallocate timing of through-traffic, easing the flow of traffic.
