Route Description
Route 156 begins at an interchange with U.S. Route 130 in Hamilton Township. The route for a short distance passes a factory before heading to the northeast into the community of Yardville. In Yardville, the route parallels Route 130 and several residential homes before intersecting with Church Street in the southern end of the community. After Church Street, the surroundings around Route 156 lessen, until an intersection with Broad Street, where it picks up again. A short distance after, Route 156 intersects with County Route 524 (Yardville-Allentown Road), which runs as the main thoroughfare in Yardville. After County Route 524, the highway continues to the northeast along the Route 130 parallel before the route merges back in with the southbound lanes, which is the designated northern terminus.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
