County Route 505 begins at County Route 501 in Union City, where it travels east and soon after entering Weehawken, it is named Boulevard East. It proceeds northward, traveling parallel to the Hudson River atop the Hudson Palisades. At Anthony M. DeFino Way in West New York it takes a right turn and descends to the waterfront becoming River Road through North Bergen and Edgewater, where it then intersects Route 5. In Fort Lee it intersects with Interstate 95.{{google maps |title = Overview of County Route 505 from Union City to Fort Lee |access-date = February 8, 2008 |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+CR-505/E%20Palisade%20Ave%20@40.881000,%20-73.952090+to:+CR-505/Livingston%20St%20@40.995422,%20-73.956368 }} CR 505 then intersects the Palisades Interstate Parkway, before traveling parallel to it. It then intersects County Route 501, before turning due north from the westward path it had previously followed along. It travels by Morrow Park, shortly before traveling near the Knickerbocker Country Club. It then intersects County Route 70, before continuing north and intersecting County Route 502.{{google maps |title = Overview of County Route 505 |access-date = February 8, 2008 |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+CR-505/River%20Rd%20@40.847400,%20-73.965900+to:+CR-505/Livingston%20St%20@40.993200,%20-73.957000 |link = no }} From there, it proceeds north, reaching its end at the New York/New Jersey border.{{google maps |title = Overview of County Route 505 |access-date = February 8, 2008 |url = https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+CR-505/Livingston%20St%20@40.993200,%20-73.957000+to:+RT-303%20@41.016308,%20-73.945242 |link = no }}

Part of CR 505 was originally intended to New Jersey Route 303.[http://www.alpsroads.net/roads/nj/log/51.html#505 New Jersey Roads - NJ State Highways - CR 200-514]{{self-published source|date=August 2015}}

The 1955 USGS map of the Park Ridge Quadrangle shows CR 505 running south from the New York state line on Spring Valley Road in Montvale, then east on Grand Avenue, and south on Pascack Road through Park Ridge, Woodcliff Lake, and Hillsdale, all several miles west of its modern-day alignment.{{citation needed|date=January 2013}}

Bike lanes on River Road were completed on July 24, 2012, in connection with a road re-paving project. They run a half mile from Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen and stretch southward towards Bulls Ferry Road in Weehawken.{{cite news |last = Cruz |first = Vanessa |title = If you build it, they will ride |work = The Union City Reporter |date = December 2, 2012 |page = 4 }}
