County Route 557, abbreviated CR 557, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 36.00 miles (57.94 km) from Delsea Drive (Route 47) in Dennis Township to Main Street (CR 555) in Franklin Township. It is also referred to as Tuckahoe Road.
CR 557 begins at an intersection with Route 47 in Dennis Township, Cape May County, heading northeast on two-lane undivided Washington Avenue into forested areas. The route crosses into Woodbine and enters residential areas, intersecting CR 611 and CR 550/CR 638. At the intersection with the latter, CR 557 forms a concurrency with CR 550 and the two routes pass a mix of homes and businesses as it comes to Dehirsch Avenue, where CR 550 splits from CR 557 by heading southeast on that road. From this point, CR 557 continues north into Upper Township and becomes North Dennis-Marshallville Road as it continues into forested areas with occasional homes. Farther north, the route intersectrs CR 617 and turns east onto Mill Road, heading into residential areas in the community of Tuckahoe. The road crosses the Cape May Seashore Lines railroad line, the Conrail Shared Assets Operations Beesley's Point Secondary, and CR 659 within a short distance of each other before reaching a junction with Route 50 and CR 664. CR 557 forms a concurrency with Route 50 and the two routes head north through residential and commercial areas and encounter the eastern terminus of Route 49 before leaving Tuckahoe.
