County Route 612 is a county route in Middlesex County, New Jersey that measures 5.01 miles in length. It carries the names of Forsgate Drive, Pergola Avenue, and Matchaponix Road. The road extends from CR 613 in the east to its bridge over the New Jersey Turnpike in the west, where it continues as Route 32. Both ends of the county route are in Monroe Township.
Some maps suggest that CR 612 continues west across the Turnpike overpass and ends at the traffic light for CR 535.[2] However, all official documentation indicates that Route 32 and County Route 612 both end at the Turnpike overpass; this is also maintenance changes from the state of New Jersey to Middlesex County.[1][3]
[edit] Route description
County Route 612 runs concurrent with CR 522 in Jamesburg, New Jersey for 0.05 miles, then becoming Pergola Avenue and Forsgate Drive. The eastern end of CR 612 has become more developed, which in turn has created more vechicular volume. More developments are being built along CR 612, which will further increase vechicular volume. The busiest section of CR 612 is between CR 619 and the New Jersey Turnpike.
The eastern terminus of CR 612 is at Spotswood-Englishtown Road (CR 613). In 2002, an extension of Matchaponix Road was built. It begins at the intersection of CR 612 and CR 613 heading east (turning into Texas Road), traversing into Old Bridge Township, and becomes County Route 520 at its intersection with CR 527.
