The highway, which was first designated as US 122 before that number was reassigned to the road between Reading and Pottsville, Pa. (now PA 61), was established as entering New Jersey on Old York Road (actually, the free bridge between New Hope and Lambertville) and then heading up Old York Road (or its bypass, NJ 29) to the vicinity of Somerville. From there, it continued up NJ 31 and NJ 32 to the Mountain View section of Wayne. North of there, it was designated on a corridor that was suggested, but never adopted, as a state highway.
In fact, NJ 32 was never picked up as a state highway east of Tabor Road (today's NJ 53), although it was legislated to run all the way through to Mountain View. As a result, about 33 miles of US 202 in New Jersey are maintained by the various counties (Morris, Passaic, and Bergen). Ramapo Valley Road in Bergen County was and is CR 91, and is still signed as such at the intersection of Island Road in Mahwah. There are a few short stretches under NJDOT jurisdiction, where the highway crosses US 46 and I-80 in Parsippany, joins with NJ 23 in Wayne, and crosses I-287 in Oakland.
US 202 continues south through eastern Pennsylvania, though it leaves Old York Road and cuts a diagonal to Norristown before heading south to New Castle, Del. North and east of New Jersey, the road also runs on a diagonal through New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, finally meeting its “parent” route, US 2, at its northern terminus near Bangor.
The road is part of a major highway merge at the Somerville Circle, which, contrary to its name, actually sits on the border between Bridgewater Township and Raritan Borough. US 202 (formerly NJ 29) comes up from Flemington, to the southwest, while US 206 (formerly NJ 31) comes up from Princeton, to the south. The two US routes leave the circle together, to the north, while NJ 28 runs east and west through it. The interchange was reconfigured in the early 1990s so that US 202 flies over the circle uninterrupted, but traffic using US 206 or NJ 28, or mixing with US 202, must still use the circle. (The highway number NJ 31 has been reassigned to an unrelated highway which US 202 merges with between the Ringoes section of East Amwell and the Flemington circle, while NJ 29 was truncated to Lambertville and then extended along the Delaware River to Frenchtown.)
