'''U.S. Route 202''' ('''US 202''') is a [[US Highway]] running from [[New Castle, Delaware]], northeast to [[Bangor, Maine]]. The southernmost section of the route in the U.S. state of [[Delaware]] passes through northern [[New Castle County, Delaware|New Castle County]]. It runs from its southern terminus at an interchange with [[U.S. Route 13 in Delaware|US 13]]/[[U.S. Route 40 in Delaware|US 40]] near the [[Wilmington Airport (Delaware)|Wilmington Airport]] north to the [[Pennsylvania]] state line in [[Brandywine Hundred]]. The route passes east of the airport [[concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with [[Delaware Route 141]] (DE 141) before coming to an interchange with [[Interstate 95 in Delaware|Interstate 95]] (I-95). At this point, US 202 heads northeast along with I-95 through [[Wilmington, Delaware|Wilmington]]. Just north of Wilmington, US 202 splits from I-95 by running north on '''Concord Pike''' through the suburban Brandywine Hundred area to the Pennsylvania state line. US 202 is a multilane [[divided highway]] the entire length across Delaware, with the section concurrent with I-95 a [[freeway]].
 
The Concord Pike was originally chartered as the Wilmington and Great Valley Turnpike in 1811, a [[toll road|turnpike]] that was to connect Wilmington to [[Great Valley, Pennsylvania]]. The Concord Pike between US 13 in Wilmington and the Pennsylvania state line became a part of '''US 122''' in 1926. In 1934, US 122 was renumbered to US 202 and the road was realigned to head southwest and end at US 13 and US 40 in [[State Road, Delaware|State Road]]. In the 1950s, the Concord Pike north of Wilmington was widened into a divided highway. By 1954, US 202 was realigned to follow US 13 northbound and Washington Street southbound through downtown Wilmington. The southern terminus was cut back to I-295 in [[Farnhurst, Delaware|Farnhurst]] in 1964. In 1970, the south end of US 202 was truncated to the I-95 interchange north of Wilmington. [[Delaware Route 202|DE 202]] was designated along Concord Avenue in 1981. US 202 was extended south to its current terminus in 1984.
