Techniques for reducing the number of layers in a multilayer signal routing device are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a method wherein the multilayer signal routing device has a plurality of electrically conductive signal path layers for routing a plurality of electrical signals thereon. The method may comprise forming a plurality of electrically conductive vias in the multilayer signal routing device for electrically connecting at least two of the plurality of electrically conductive signal path layers, wherein the plurality of vias are arranged so as to form at least one channel in at least one other of the plurality of electrically conductive signal path layers. The method may also comprise grouping at least a portion of the plurality of electrical signals based at least in part upon their proximity to the at least one channel so that they may be efficiently routed therein.
