U.S. Route 202 is a U.S. Highway running from New Castle, Delaware northeast to Bangor, Maine. In the U.S. state of New Jersey, the route runs from the New Hope-Lambertville Toll Bridge over the Delaware River at the Pennsylvania border in Delaware Township, Hunterdon County near Lambertville northeast to the New York border in Mahwah, Bergen County. Along the route’s journey, it passes through a variety of suburban and rural environments, including the communities of Flemington, Somerville, Morristown, Parsippany-Troy Hills, Wayne, and Oakland as well as five counties: Hunterdon, Somerset, Morris, Passaic, and Bergen. U.S. Route 202 encounters many major roads in New Jersey, including Route 31, U.S. Route 206, U.S. Route 22, Interstate 80, U.S. Route 46, Route 23, and Route 17. From Somerville to the New York border, U.S. Route 202 generally runs within a close distance of Interstate 287 and interchanges with that route several times. The road ranges from a four-lane freeway between Lambertville and Ringoes in Hunterdon County to a two-lane undivided road through much of the northern portion of the route. North of the Route 53 intersection in Morris Plains, U.S. Route 202 is maintained by individual counties rather than the New Jersey Department of Transportation with a few exceptions.
