'''Route&nbsp;33 Business''' ('''Route&nbsp;33 Bus.''') is a short [[List of state highways in New Jersey|state highway]] in [[New Jersey]] that was the original alignment of Route&nbsp;33 before a freeway was built as a bypass of Freehold. This [[business route]] stretches {{convert|6.8|mi|km}} through [[Manalapan Township, New Jersey|Manalapan]], [[Freehold Township, New Jersey|Freehold Township]], [[Freehold Borough, New Jersey|Freehold]], and [[Howell Township, New Jersey|Howell]]. The highway holds the distinction of being the only [[business route]] state highway in all of New Jersey.

Business Route&nbsp;33 begins at the interchange with Route&nbsp;33, its parent route, in [[Manalapan Township, New Jersey|Manalapan]]. A short distance after, the interchange from Route&nbsp;33 eastbound merges into Business Route&nbsp;33, and the route passes to the south of [[Monmouth Battlefield State Park]] and enters [[Freehold Township, New Jersey|Freehold Township]]. Business Route&nbsp;33 intersects with [[U.S. Route 9 in New Jersey|US&nbsp;9]], becoming Park Avenue. Business Route&nbsp;33 turns to the southeast and enters [[Freehold Borough, New Jersey|Freehold]], passing to the north of the [[Freehold Raceway]] and intersects with West Main Street ([[County Route 537 (New Jersey)|CR 537]]). A short distance later, Business Route&nbsp;33 intersects at a traffic light with South Street ([[New Jersey Route 79|Route&nbsp;79]]) in Downtown Freehold. After the intersection of South Street (Route 79), it crosses back into Freehold Township. Farther east, the route passes over the [[Freehold Industrial Track]] railroad line operated by the Delaware & Raritan River Railroad and interchanges with Halls Mill Road/Kozloski Road ([[List of county routes in Monmouth County, New Jersey#55|CR 55]]). After the interchange with Halls Mill Road/Kozloski Road (CR 55), Business Route 33 enters [[Howell Township, New Jersey|Howell]]. At the intersection of Fairfield Road/Brickyard Road, Business Route&nbsp;33 enters the interchange with Route&nbsp;33 and the freeway, where the designation terminates.<ref name="bing 33 Bus">{{cite map |map = Overview map of New Jersey Route 33 Business |map-url = http://www.maps.bing.com/maps/?FORM=Z9LH8#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 |title = Bing Maps |year = 2009 |author1 = [[Microsoft]] |author2 = [[NAVTEQ]] |publisher = Microsoft |access-date = November 21, 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20100309043423/http://www.maps.bing.com/maps/?FORM=Z9LH8#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#JmNwPTQwLjI0Njk0MjU2NDg0NTA4fi03NC4yNzk3MjgyNjM2MTY1NiZsdmw9MTMmc3R5PXImcnRwPXBvcy40MC4yNTQwNjk4NjQ3NDk5MV8tNzQuMzM1OTUwMzE0OTk4NjNfbmVhciUyMFNSLTMzJTJDJTIwRW5nbGlzaHRvd24lMkMlMjBOZXclMjBKZXJzZXklMjAwNzcyNiUyQyUyMFVuaXRlZCUyMFN0YXRlc19fX2FffnBvcy40MC4yNTU0MTA5NjkyNTczNTVfLTc0LjMyNTY1ODY3OTAwODQ4X25lYXIlMjBTUi0zMyUyMEJ1cyUyMCUyNiUyMFJhbXAlMkMlMjBFbmdsaXNodG93biUyQyUyME5ldyUyMEplcnNleSUyMDA3NzI2JTJDJTIwVW5pdGVkJTIwU3RhdGVzX19fYV9+cG9zLjQwLjI1OTM1ODUxMDM3NTAyXy03NC4yOTM3MjY5ODA2ODYxOV9uZWFyJTIwMTIlMjBTUi0zMyUyMEJ1cyUyQyUyMEZyZWVob2xkJTJDJTIwTmV3JTIwSmVyc2V5JTIwMDc3MjglMkMlMjBVbml0ZWQlMjBTdGF0ZXNfX19hX35wb3MuNDAuMjU4NzQ5NjQ4OTI4NjRfLTc0LjI5MDI1NzU0MzMyNTQyX25lYXIlMjBTUi0zMyUyMEJ1cyUyQyUyMEZyZWVob2xkJTJDJTIwTmV3JTIwSmVyc2V5JTIwMDc3MjglMkMlMjBVbml0ZWQlMjBTdGF0ZXNfX19hX35wb3MuNDAuMjQ5NjY3Njg5MjA0MjE2Xy03NC4yNTgwNjQzMjk2MjQxOF84MDAlMjBTdGF0ZSUyMFJvdXRlJTIwMzMlMkMlMjBGcmVlaG9sZCUyQyUyME5KJTIwMDc3MjgtODQzMF9fX2FffnBvcy40MC4yMzQ0NTM1MjkxMTk0OV8tNzQuMjIxOTYyNDY2ODM1OThfX19fYV8mcnRvcD0wfjB+MH4= |archive-date = March 9, 2010 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
