The northernmost segment of CR 553 generally begins in Burlington County and runs southward. As a discontinuous route, there are breaks in the alignment where the road may be maintained by a municipality or the designation ceases entirely before resuming in a subsequent location.

Major municipalities and landmarks along the various segments of CR 553 often include areas within Cumberland, Gloucester, and Salem Counties. The route provides connections to significant roadways such as U.S. Route 40, U.S. Route 322, and other county routes. Specific details regarding routing and termini can vary, as county route designations and alignments are subject to change by the respective county governments responsible for their maintenance and upkeep.

The exact length of CR 553 is difficult to ascertain definitively due to its fragmented nature and potential changes in its designation over time. Consult official county transportation maps for the most up-to-date information on the current alignment.
