[edit] Route description
County Route 560 begins at an at-grade interchange with U.S. Route 206 and County Route 521 in Sandyston.[2] The first intersection is to the left for Teneyck Lane at .2 of a mile. Route 560 heads to the northwest, intersecting with Sussex CR 615. However, the intersection is closed off heading down 615. Route 560 turns to the north into Layton, where Sussex CR 645 begins. Route 560 curves to the south and intersects with Sussex CR 640 (Bevans Road) at 2.39 miles.[2]
At the Bevans Road intersection, Route 560 turns to the east and then to the north.[2] Route 560 enters the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area just after 3.5 miles. Route 560 intersects with Upper Ridge Road at 3.97 miles. Old Mine Road is a connector road to 206 and 521, with access to the Peters Valley Craft Center. Route 560 crosses onto the Dingmans Ferry Bridge, where it ends at the Pennsylvania state line.[2] There it continues as PA 739/QR 2019.
[edit] History
When County Route 521 was assigned in the 1950s, it originally made the alignments of County Route 560 and the Old Mine Road north of Route 560.[3] Then, no route originally crossed over the Dingmans Bridge to Pennsylvania Route 739. Route 521 was later rerouted off wthe highway, which extended its multiplex with U.S. Route 206. US 206 and CR 521 are now the highway's eastern terminus. When the route was completely re-routed, Tuttles Corners Road became CR 560, which was extended to the Dingmans Bridge to PA 739.[4] The Old Mine Road segment became a federal maintained road, and there are no remains of the original 521.
