Route Description
U.S. Route 202 enters Connecticut at Danbury with U.S. Route 6 and climbs up onto I-84 at Exit 4, which had just been joined by the north–south US 7 at the previous interchange, making a four-way concurrency. US 7 and 202 split from I-84 and US 6 at Exit 7. They remain a freeway for a short stretch but then 202 splits off to a two-lane road in Southern Brookfield as it follows Federal Road. The US 7 freeway continues for another 2 miles (3.2 km) before it rejoins US 202 in Northern Brookfield. The now rejoined US 7 and 202 approach New Milford, in bucolic Litchfield County, where they once again split.
US 202 continues through Torrington and on to Cherry Brook, where it then runs concurrently with US 44 for several miles before turning northward at Avon. For the run to the state line, US 202 runs concurrently with Route 10.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
