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.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“By whatever means it is accomplished, the prime business of a play is to arouse the passions of its audience so that by the route of passion may be opened up new relationships between a man and men, and between men and Man. Drama is akin to the other inventions of man in that it ought to help us to know more, and not merely to spend our feelings.”
—Arthur Miller (b. 1915)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
