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:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“As they are not seen on their way down the streams, it is thought by fishermen that they never return, but waste away and die, clinging to rocks and stumps of trees for an indefinite period; a tragic feature in the scenery of the river bottoms worthy to be remembered with Shakespeare’s description of the sea-floor.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
