County Route 559, abbreviated CR 559, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 30.84 miles (49.63 km) from the former Somers Point Circle at MacArthur Boulevard (Route 52) in Somers Point to Egg Harbor Road (CR 561) in Hammonton.
CR 559 begins at an intersection with Route 52 and the southern terminus of CR 585 (the former Somers Point Circle) in Somers Point, Atlantic County, heading west on two-lane undivided Somers Point-Mays Landing Road. The route runs between the Greate Bay Golf Club to the north and marshland to the south as it comes to the US 9 junction. From this point, the road runs near some residential areas prior to passing under the Garden State Parkway and crossing the marshy Patcong Creek into Egg Harbor Township. CR 559 heads northwest passes marshland and homes before turning north-northwest into wooded areas with a few residences. The route crosses CR 651 and crosses the Lake Creek as heads northwest through more rural areas, turning more to the west as it intersects CR 575. After this intersection, the road crosses the English Creek and runs through more forested areas with some development as it comes to the CR 615 junction. Here, CR 559 turns west and northwest again through more rural areas, eventually turning north as it begins to run a short distance to the east of the Great Egg Harbor River. The route continues into Hamilton Township, where the road turns northeast into increasing areas of forested residential development. This is where the road intersects CR 559 Alternate. The road continues northwest past more forests and development, coming to an intersection with US 40 and CR 617 in the community of Mays Landing.
