10 unusual facts about U.S. Route 202


County routes in New Jersey

US 202 runs through Bergen County, thus the planners skipped this number.

Maine State Route 110

It went under major changes in 1931, with its western terminus being shifted to the New Hampshire state line and all of its eastern routing becoming part of modern SR 4, SR 5, SR 11, SR 205, and U.S. Route 202, resulting in the short alignment it has today.

Maine State Route 121

However, signage indicates the end of the route to be at the intersection of Minot Avenue and Washington Street, which carries U.S. Route 202, Route 4, and Route 100.

Maine State Route 122

The only change that has ever occurred was the overlapping of U.S. Route 202 and SR 4 over SR 100, where SR 122 has always had its eastern terminus.

Maine State Route 237

The route follows a roughly southeast-to-northwest trajectory, passing through the center of town and crossing over US 202 and SR 4.

Maine State Route 26

a new 1.6-mile (2.6 km) bypass, State Route 26A, was completed and put into service to alleviate congestion in the center of Gray Village where U.S. Route 202, SR 4, SR 26, SR 100, and SR 115 intersect.

Maine State Route 4

From South Berwick, Route 4 runs in a northeasterly direction through the town of North Berwick, bypassing the center of the city of Sanford to the east, and coming to an intersection with U.S. Route 202 in Alfred.

By 1937, most of the routes that are cosigned with it had been designated, most notably U.S. Route 202.

Although they are not directly connected to one another, they are linked by their parent highway, Maine State Route 4, as well as U.S. Route 202, which runs concurrently with Route 4 during this stretch.

Maine State Route 5

The route runs northwest from Saco, passes very briefly through a Northwest corner of Biddeford, and intersects U.S. Route 202 near the Lyman-Waterboro line.
