The highway extends 6.07 miles (9.77 km) from Barnegat Boulevard (Route 72) to Main Street (U.S. Route 9 or US 9) in Barnegat Township.

The highway was designated as the easternmost segment of CR 532 in the early 1950s[2] and was later a portion of CR 534, but as it had no connection to the western segment, it was renamed by 1984.

The road runs through forested areas of the Pine Barrens and intersects CR 611.

In the community of Barnegat, the route comes to its eastern terminus at US 9.

[1][4] The entire route is in Barnegat Township, Ocean County.
