[edit] Route description
County Route 3 begins as Main Street at a new traffic signal with County Route 527 (Millhurst Road) in Manalapan. After crossing County Route 522 (Freehold Road), the route becomes Tennent Road, which it remains for the majority of the route.
Technically, County Route 3 becomes Morganville Road for a brief 0.3 miles between the Gordon's Corner Road/U.S. Route 9 interchange and the Marlboro Township border, but this designation is rarely used because there are few driveways and no cross streets in this area. Once entering Marlboro, County Route 3 becomes Tennent Road once again.
When County Route 3 reaches Route 79 in Morganville at a traffic signal, traffic must make a left turn, drive 0.1 miles, and turn right at the next traffic signal onto Lloyd Road to stay on County Route 3. Lloyd Road takes the route the remainder of its length past Route 34 to Route 35, where it ends in Keyport.
