Route Description
Route 133 begins at an at-grade intersection with County Route 571 (Hightstown Road) in the community of East Windsor. The intersection includes a jughandle for eastbound traffic to use to access the highway. After the jughandle on Windsor Center Drive, Route 133 begins to progress its way northward as a four-lane freeway, crossing through surroundings of trees and open fields. Along a large bend, the highway turns eastward, paralleling to County Route 571 to the south and County Route 535 (Old Trenton Road) to the north. Passing to the southeast of a factory, Route 133 curves to the southeast through fields and crosses over the locally-maintained One Mile Road heading eastbound and interchanges westbound. Heading eastbound, the on-ramp to Route 133 from One Mile Road merges in, and the highway continues, passing to the north of homes and commercial buildings through East Windsor.
A short distance later, Route 133 develops a wide median as it crosses on a bridge over a river. After crossing the river, the highway's surroundings change drastically, with residential homes surrounding the freeway in each direction. A short distance later, Route 133 crosses over U.S. Route 130's six-lane alignment, reaching an interchange with the northbound lanes after crossing. After Route 130, the highway continues eastward, crossing over County Route 539 (North Main Street). The highway crosses the right of way of the historic Camden & Amboy railroad; there is no bridge over the trackbed that is abandoned only a short few feet to the north and a few miles south around the Hightstown area. After crossing Route 539, Route 133 turns to the southeast once again, continuing to the south of the condominium complex. Leaving the condos behind, the highway turns southward through lands and paralleling to the south of Cranbury Station Road. Route 133 continues southward, crossing over Wyckoff Mills Road, which serves as the southern terminus of Cranbury Station Road. Now paralleling Wyckoff Mills Road, the four-lane freeway continues eastward, crossing over the six lanes of the New Jersey Turnpike (Interstate 95). The Route 133 bridge over the Turnpike was already built with the considerations the New Jersey Turnpike would be widened an extra lane in each direction, which is occurring now. Continuing to the south of Wyckoffs Mill Road, Route 133 passes through northern Mercer County as a four-lane freeway. Soon after, Route 133 turns southward, heading away from Wyckoffs Mill and intersecting at-grade with Route 33, where the designation terminates.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“To give an accurate description of what has never occurred is not merely the proper occupation of the historian, but the inalienable privilege of any man of parts and culture.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
