County Route 554, abbreviated CR 554, is a county highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. The highway extends 6.16 miles (9.91 km) from Barnegat Boulevard (Route 72) to Main Street (U.S. Route 9) in Barnegat Township. The highway was designated as the easternmost segment of CR 532 in the early 1950s[2] and was later a portion of CR 534, but as it had no connection to the western segment, it was renamed in the 1980s.

Route description

Farther to the east, the route runs near wooded neighborhoods as Bay Avenue, coming to junctions with CR 111 and CR 105.

After the interchange, CR 554 passes through business areas and intersects CR 8 and CR 10. In the community of Barnegat, the route comes to its eastern terminus at US 9.[1][3]
