Route Description
Route 68 begins at General Circle with County Route 616 on the grounds of JB MDL Dix in New Hanover Township, heading to the north as a four-lane divided highway called Fort Dix Road. The road continues through the fort and crosses into Wrightstown, where it narrows into a two-lane undivided road before heading into Springfield Township. The route passes a gate into Fort Dix before intersecting County Route 670 and leaving the fort, towards a mix of farmland and woodland. Route 68 crosses County Route 537 before continuing north into agricultural areas with some homes.
The road enters Mansfield Township where it widens into a four-lane divided highway as it intersects a road that provides access to parallel County Route 545 to the east, which heads south to serve as an access road to McGuire Air Force Base. From here, the route turns northwest and crosses County Route 543 before heading through a mix of farm fields and suburban residential neighborhoods. Past the intersection with White Pine Road, Route 68 passes in between two large car lots. The route terminates at an intersection with U.S. Route 206 located a short distance south of that route’s interchange with the New Jersey Turnpike. Route 68 serves as the main access route between JB MDL Dix and the New Jersey Turnpike.
