County routes in New Jersey

County Route 522, abbreviated CR 522, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 19.64 miles (31.61 km) from U.S. Route 1 (US 1) in South Brunswick Township to Main Street (CR 537) in Freehold Borough.

CR 522 begins at an intersection with US 1 in South Brunswick Township, Middlesex County, heading east on Promenade Boulevard, a four-lane divided highway. West of US 1, Promenade Boulevard continues as an unnumbered road to Route 27. The road passes through forested areas near a few residential subdivisions, turning southeast and passing over Amtrak's Northeast Corridor. Following the bridge, the route enters residential areas and intersects CR 681 and CR 697 before coming to an intersection with US 130. At this point, Promenade Boulevard ends and CR 522 turns south to form a concurrency with US 130 on a four-lane divided highway, passing businesses. CR 522 splits from US 130 at an interchange and heads east on two-lane undivided Ridge Road, running past several distribution warehouses and a couple farms. After passing over the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95), the route continues to an intersection with CR 535.
