Burlington County
CR 528 begins at an intersection with CR 545 in Bordentown, Burlington County, heading east on two-lane undivided Crosswicks Street through areas of homes and businesses. The route crosses US 130/US 206 in commercial areas before continuing into Bordentown Township and passing a mix of farm fields, businesses, and residential neighborhoods. The road enters Chesterfield Township as it turns southeast and passes over the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95) before coming to a junction with CR 672. CR 528 continues through areas of farms and woods with some homes, intersecting CR 660 and CR 677. After the junction with the latter, the road turns east in residential areas before passing more agricultural areas. The route turns southeast onto Jacobstown-Chesterfield Road at the CR 664 intersection and continues through areas of farmland, woodland, and residences as it crosses into North Hanover Township. CR 528 briefly joins with CR 665 as it turns east into a mix of woods and homes as Jacobstown Road, turning southeast again to intersect CR 537. Past CR 537, the route continues into a mix of agricultural and wooded areas.[1][2]

CR 528 continues into Plumsted Township in Ocean County, continuing into the community of New Egypt, where the road passes homes and businesses. After intersecting CR 616, the route heads east onto Main Street and passes through the commercial downtown of New Egypt before turning northeast near more homes. CR 528 leaves New Egypt by heading east on Lakewood Road, with CR 10 continuing northeast along Main Street. The road continues through rural residential areas as it reaches a junction with CR 539. From here, the route enters forested areas of the Pine Barrens with some residences, crossing into Jackson Township at the CR 640 intersection. CR 528 becomes West Veterans Highway and heads east to an intersection with CR 571 in the community of Cassville. From this point, the road runs through more residential sections of the Pine Barrens before coming to the CR 527 junction. At this point, CR 528 heads southeast concurrent with CR 527, with CR 636 heading east. The road passes near more wooded areas of homes before turning east and passing to the south of a lake. CR 527 splits from CR 528 by heading south on on Whitesville Road, with CR 528 continuing east as East Veterans Highway. Farther east, the route intersects CR 547 and CR 639, where CR 547 turns east to form a concurrency with CR 528. The two routes continues through residential and commercial development, intersecting CR 626 before crossing into Lakewood Township. At this point, CR 528/CR 547 becomes Lakewood-New Egypt Road and turns northeast into wooded residential neighborhoods. In this area, the routes turn east onto Central Avenue and passes more homes before crossing Lake Carasaljo and coming to an intersection with US 9.[1][2]
At this point, CR 528 continues northeast on Hurley Avenue and CR 547 turns north to follow US 9 on Madsion Avenue. The route turns east-southeast onto Cedar Bridge Avenue a short distance later and crosses the Conrail Shared Assets Operations Southern Secondary. From here, the road continues through residential areas, widening to four lanes at the CR 20 intersection.

The road passes through industrial areas and passes to the north of Lakewood Airport prior to reaching a partial interchange with the Garden State Parkway that has access to and from the northbound direction of the parkway. Following this interchange, the route heads southeast into Brick Township and runs through woods before passing businesses as it comes to the Route 70 intersection. At this point, CR 528 gains a center left-turn lane and continues through commercial areas as it crosses CR 549 and CR 631. After the CR 631 junction, the road narrows to two lanes and passes a mix of homes and businesses as Mantoloking Road, running a short distance to the south of the Metedeconk River. The route intersects CR 624 and passes more residences before it enters areas of woods and marshland CR 528 crosses the Barnegat Bay on the Mantoloking Bridge, which is a drawbridge.
