[edit] Route description

Route 506 begins at an intersection with New Jersey Route 159 in Fairfield Township.^[1] The route begins as a divided highway, but quickly merges together by the first intersection. Just after crossing the town line into West Caldwell, Route 506 becomes a divided highway, and intersects with local roads. After the intersection with Distler Avenue, the road merges together again. However, its not long before its splits again. Essex County Routes 613 and 613 Spur both intersect during the third divided highway segment. It merges back together and intersects with Essex County Route 614.^[1]

Just before entering Caldwell, Route 633 intersects.^[1] In Caldwell, Route 506 becomes concurrent with County Route 527. The two roads split before entering North Caldwell. The time in North Caldwell is short, as the road enters Verona. In Verona, New Jersey Route 23 starts at the northern terminus of County Route 577. As Route 506 leaves Verona, there is a short divided highway segment. The divided highway merges and Route 506 continues through Montclair.^[1] Intersecting with more county and local roads, Route 506 intersects with its spur route before entering Bloomfield.^[1] Route 506 becomes concurrent with New Jersey Route 7 in Belleville for a short time. The concurrency quickly ends and Route 506 comes to an end at New Jersey Route 7.^[1]
