The route crosses the Southern Secondary railroad line operated by the Delaware and Raritan River Railroad and passes more areas of homes and businesses before entering more wooded areas of development and turning southeast to meet CR 623. At this point, the name of the road changes to Lanes Mill Road and it passes more residential areas before CR 526 comes to its eastern terminus at CR 549. History In the 19th century, what is now CR 526 west of Imlaystown was part of two turnpikes; the Trenton and Allentown Turnpike, and the Allentown and Imlayston Turnpike, chartered in 1858 to connect the two points. Major intersections CR 526 Spur County Route 526 Spur (CR 526 Spur) is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. Completed in 2003 and entirely within Upper Freehold Township, it is known as the Allentown Bypass, as it allows through traffic to bypass the Borough of Allentown. The highway extends from Allentown - Red Valley Road (CR 526) to Old York Road (CR 524 and CR 539). It is two lanes wide; a farm mostly lines the west side of the road while the east side has the Reed Recreation Area; the only place accessible from the road itself. The road was briefly signed as CR 526 Alternate in early 2018, which agrees with NJDOT documents, though Monmouth County documents indicate it is CR 526 Spur.
