[edit] Route description
County Route 6A begins at County Route 516 Spur (Main Street) in Matawan. It extends northwest along Ravine Drive; after the intersection with Morristown Road it is known as Cross Road. A portion of Cross Road forms the border between Matawan Borough and Aberdeen Township. Cross Road terminates at Cliffwood Avenue, another section of CR 6A. Cliffwood Avenue forms a part of CR 6A between the Middlesex County line and New Jersey Route 35, where it terminates. West of the Middlesex County border, Cliffwood Avenue continues as Middlesex County Route 689.
[edit] History
Much of this route (West of Matawan Creek) was taken over by the Board of Chosen Freeholders as a county road on April 24, 1912. The remaining section, Ravine Drive between Main Street and Matawan Creek, was taken over on September 21, 1921. By 1929 Ravine Drive and Cross Road were numbered CR 67 and Cliffwood Avenue was CR 68. In the 1937 renumbering both routes were absorbed into the CR 6 complex; by 1940 the present CR 6A was designated as CR 6B. In the 1952 renumbering it was designated CR 6A.
