[edit] Route description

CR 6 consists of three sections. Section 1 begins in Aberdeen Township at NJ 35 and extends east along Amboy Avenue to the Matawan-Keyport Bridge over Matawan Creek, which forms the boundary with Keyport. When CR 6 enters Keyport, it becomes West Front Street and continues to its junction with County Route 4 (Broad Street). Section 1 ends at this point. Section 2 is entirely within Keyport; it begins at the intersection of Broadway and West Fourth Street (CR 516) and continues north along Broadway to West Front Street (CR 6, Section 1), where CR 6 in effect has a junction with itself. Section 3 begins in Keyport at the intersection of First Street and Stone Road; it extends east along Stone Road and crosses Chingarora Creek, after which it forms the boundary between Union Beach and Hazlet Township, and terminates at NJ 36.

CR 6/39 is Monmouth County's only official concurrency, and can be considered to be the fourth section of CR 6, as well as a connecting link between Section 1 and Section 3. It is signed as CR 6. It begins at the intersection of Broad Street and First Street; this point is also the northern terminus of CR 4. It extends east along First Street and crosses Chingarora Creek into Union Beach where it is known as Broadway. It continues east along Broadway to its terminus at CR 39 (Florence Avenue).

In the 2007 New Jersey Straight Line Diagrams, County Route 6 is listed as CR 61 (Section 1), CR 62 (Section 2) and CR 63 (Section 3). CR 6/39 is listed as CR 64. These are in error, there are no such routes in Monmouth County.
