CR 514

 

  

CR 514 is a long east-west county route from East Amwell to Elizabeth.

Hunterdon County:

CR 514 begins at US 202 and the northern terminus of NJ 179. CR 514 is the continued route of Old York Road, which was previously NJ 179.

CR 514 in Reaville. Old York Road follows CR 613 at this split.

CR 514 in Clover Hill. Here, the route crosses from Hunterdon into Somerset County.

Somerset County:

CR 514 west of Millstone:

CR 514 in Neshanic, at the start of CR 567.

CR 514 intersects the original alignment of US 206 in the commercial district of Hillsborough.

CR 514 has a quadrant interchange with US 206 Bypass. CR 514 crosses a bridge over US 206 Bypass, leaving behind stubs of its former alignment.

CR 514 bends to the north to bypass Millstone. The original alignment of Amwell Road / CR 514 through historic Millstone is CR 650.

CR 514 intersects CR 533 Bypass. I don't know why CR 533 has a bypass here because Millstone is so tiny.

CR 650 (former CR 514 in Millstone):

Now on CR 650, former CR 514. This is an old sign, however, there is no painted crosswalk anymore.

An old reflective sign for CR 533.

The end of CR 650 at CR 533. If CR 514 did follow CR 650, it is likely that the road jogged onto CR 533 to reach the Millstone River Causeway.

The namesake millstone.

CR 514 east of Millstone:

CR 514 on the Millstone River Causeway.

CR 514 in East Millstone.

Middlesex County:

CR 514 signage disappears in New Brunswick and its routing between CR 527 and NJ 27 is uncertain. This is because the city maintains the road.

Routing 1 takes CR 514 along CR 527 (Easton Avenue) and then NJ 27 (Albany Street) to Highland Park, thus suggesting an overlap. This is the routing suggested by the 2007 SLD from NJDOT.

Routing 2 continues CR 514 along Hamilton Street and Johnson Drive to NJ 27. This the routing suggested by the 2019 SLD from NJDOT.

I will assume both routings are valid.

An old alignment for CR 514 before the three-level overpass.

CR 514 is the top level of three levels of overpasses. The middle level is the Grden State Parkway, and the bottom level is the New Jersey Turnpike.
