It runs {{convert|58.11|mi|km|abbr=on}} from the entrance to [[Island Beach State Park]] in [[Berkeley Township, New Jersey|Berkeley Township]], Ocean County to an intersection with [[Lincoln Highway]]/St. Georges Avenue ([[New Jersey Route 27|Route 27]]) in [[Rahway, New Jersey|Rahway]], [[Union County, New Jersey|Union County]]. Between [[Seaside Park, New Jersey|Seaside Park]] and [[Mantoloking, New Jersey|Mantoloking]], Route 35 follows the [[right of way|right-of-way]] of the former [[Pennsylvania Railroad]] along the [[Jersey Shore]]. The route heads through [[Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey|Point Pleasant Beach]] and crosses the [[Manasquan River]] on the Brielle Bridge, meeting [[New Jersey Route 34|Route 34]] and [[New Jersey Route 70|Route 70]] at the former [[Brielle Circle]] in [[Wall Township, New Jersey|Wall Township]]. From there, Route 35 heads north and intersects [[New Jersey Route 138|Route 138]], an extension of [[Interstate 195 (New Jersey)|Interstate 195]] (I-195), continuing north through Monmouth County before crossing the [[Victory Bridge (New Jersey)|Victory Bridge]] over the [[Raritan River]] into [[Perth Amboy, New Jersey|Perth Amboy]], where the route continues north to Rahway. Route 35 was designated in 1927 to run from [[Lakewood Township, New Jersey|Lakewood Township]] to [[South Amboy, New Jersey|South Amboy]], from Lakewood Township to Belmar and from Eatontown to South Amboy. It was realigned onto its current alignment between Brielle and Belmar in 1929 and saw a northward extension along [[U.S. Route 9 in New Jersey|U.S. Route 9]] (US 9) from South Amboy to [[Iselin, New Jersey|Iselin]] in 1947. In 1953, Route 35 was realigned to run from Point Pleasant to [[Seaside Heights, New Jersey|Seaside Heights]] along a former part of [[New Jersey Route 37|Route 37]], with Route 35 between Lakewood Township and Point Pleasant becoming [[New Jersey Route 88|Route 88]]. At the same time, Route 35 was removed from US 9 between South Amboy and Iselin and realigned to follow a former piece of [[New Jersey Route 4|Route 4]] between South Amboy and Rahway. From the late 1950s to the mid-1970s, there were plans to build a [[freeway]] along the Route 35 corridor from Seaside Heights north into Monmouth County; the only portion that was built became part of [[New Jersey Route 18|Route 18]]. Route 35 was extended south to the Island Beach State Park entrance by the 1980s. Recent improvements to the route have removed many [[traffic circle]]s and replaced the first [[cloverleaf interchange]] in the United States, built in 1929, at [[U.S. Route 1/9|US 1/9]] in [[Woodbridge Township, New Jersey|Woodbridge Township]] with a [[partial cloverleaf interchange]]. ==Route description== ===Ocean County=== Route 35 begins at the entrance to [[Island Beach State Park]] in [[Berkeley Township, New Jersey|Berkeley Township]], Ocean County, at the southern tip of the [[Barnegat Peninsula]]. South of [[Seaside Park, New Jersey|Seaside Park]], Route 35 is Central Avenue as it is the only road while it travels along the shore of the Peninsula. It heads north, varying between a two-lane road to a four-lane [[dual carriageway|divided highway]] with parking spaces in the median and [[bike lane]]s on the outside through residential areas of South Seaside Park.<ref name=gm>{{google maps |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=route+35+and+24th+street+seaside+park+nj&daddr=SE+Central+Ave%2FRT-35%2FSW+Trenton+Ave+to:NE+Central+Ave%2FRT-35+to:Grand+Central+Ave+N%2FRoute+35+N%2FRT-35+to:RT-35+to:RT-35+to:Maple+Ave%2FRT-35+to:RT-35+to:RT-35+to:40.521042,-74.281912+to:route+27+and+route+35+rahway+nj&hl=en&geocode=%3BFZ0OYQIdpqKV-w%3BFbMzYQIdBamV-w%3BFeQqYgIdhNuV-w%3BFVmvZAIdyACW-w%3BFYLyZQIdsEWW-w%3BFayiZwId182V-w%3BFbgeaAId-3eV-w%3BFUZnaQIduOuS-w%3B%3B&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=9&sz=14&via=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9&sll=40.531089,-74.283543&sspn=0.028899,0.054932&ie=UTF8&ll=40.294192,-74.130249&spn=0.928028,1.757812&t=h&z=9 |title = Overview of New Jersey Route 35 |access-date = December 17, 2008 }}</ref> It briefly becomes an undivided highway before crossing into Seaside Park, where the route becomes four-lane, divided Central Avenue, which also has median parking spaces.

Upon crossing into Brielle, the route heads further west from the railroad tracks and intersects Ashley Avenue and the southern terminus of [[New Jersey Route 71|Route 71]]. The route continues northwest and crosses into [[Wall Township, New Jersey|Wall Township]] and meets the intersection of [[New Jersey Route 34|Route 34]] and [[New Jersey Route 70|Route 70]] at the former [[Brielle Circle]], now an at-grade intersection with [[jughandle]]s. Past this intersection, Route 35 heads north on a two-lane, undivided road that passes by many businesses. It meets the intersection of Atlantic Avenue ([[County Route 524 (New Jersey)#County Route 524 Spur|CR 524 Spur]]) at the Manasquan Circle, where the Circle Factory Outlet Center is located. Past the Manasquan Circle, Route 35 heads north as a three-lane road with a center left-turn lane that intersects with Allaire Road ([[County Route 524 (New Jersey)|CR 524]]).<ref name=SLD/><ref name=gm/> Route 35 widens to a four-lane divided highway and intersects the eastern terminus of [[New Jersey Route 138|Route 138]], which continues west to become [[Interstate 195 (New Jersey)|I-195]].

The project includes several highway improvements designed to alleviate the flooding the highway is prone to due to its lowness and being adjacent in several areas to tidal marshes and [[Whale Creek]] and Long Neck Creek, widening of four intersections (Birchwood Drive, County Road, Cliffwood Avenue, and Amboy Avenue), and lane alignments, and additions for pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
