County Route 505 (CR 505) is acounty highway in theU.S. state ofNew Jersey. The highway extends 20.64 miles (33.22 kilometers) from Kennedy Boulevard (CR 501) inUnion City to theNew York state line inNorthvale.

County Route 505 begins at County Route 501 inUnion City, where it travels east and soon after enteringWeehawken, it is namedBoulevard East. It proceeds northward, traveling parallel to theHudson River atop theHudson Palisades. At Anthony M. DeFino Way inWest New York it takes a right turn and descends to the waterfront becoming River Road throughNorth Bergen andEdgewater, where it then intersectsRoute 5. InFort Lee it intersects withInterstate 95.^[3] CR 505 then intersects thePalisades Interstate Parkway, before traveling parallel to it. It then intersects County Route 501, before turning due north from the westward path it had previously followed along. It travels by Morrow Park, shortly before traveling near the Knickerbocker Country Club. It then intersectsCounty Route 70, before continuing north and intersecting County Route 502.^[4] From there, it proceeds north, reaching its end at theNew York/New Jersey border.^[5]

Part of CR 505 was originally intended toNew Jersey Route 303.^[6]

The 1955USGS map of the Park Ridge Quadrangle shows CR 505 running south from the New York state line on Spring Valley Road inMontvale, then east on Grand Avenue, and south on Pascack Road throughPark Ridge,Woodcliff Lake, andHillsdale, all several miles west of its modern-day alignment.^{[citation needed]}

Bike lanes on River Road were completed on July 24, 2012, in connection with a road re-paving project. They run a half mile fromPalisades Medical Center in North Bergen and stretch southward towardsBulls Ferry Road inWeehawken.^[7]

There are numerous bridges along Boulevard East crossing over clefts in the cliffs, many approaching 100 years in age.^[8]A portion of the road was closed for six months in 2013 to replace one located in North Bergen.^[9][10]
