History
When County Route 521 was assigned in the 1950s, it originally made the alignments of County Route 560 and the Old Mine Road north of Route 560.[3] Then, no route originally crossed over the Dingmans Bridge to Pennsylvania Route 739. Route 521 was later rerouted off the highway, which extended its multiplex with U.S. Route 206. US 206 and CR 521 are now the highway's eastern terminus. When the route was completely re-routed, Tuttles Corners Road became CR 560, which was extended to the Dingmans Bridge to PA 739 (now QR 2019).[4] The Old Mine Road segment became a federal maintained road, and there are no remains of the original 521.
