SR 202 comprises a short urban route through northeast Wilmington. Concord Avenue leads SR 202 north with two lanes from U.S. 13 Business (Market Street) and Vandever Avenue in the Brandywine Village community to Baynard Boulevard. North from Baynard Boulevard, a historic alignment of U.S. 202, Concord Avenue expands into a four lane boulevard to Concord Pike and the cloverleaf interchange with Interstate 95 and U.S. 202. The one mile long alignment is poorly signed in the city, with no acknowledgment on U.S. 13 Business.
SR 202 was commissioned in 1984 in place of the vacated U.S. 202 through the Triangle and Southeast 9th Ward neighborhoods in north Wilmington. U.S. 202 previously followed Concord Avenue south to end at U.S. 13 Business (Market Street). The US route was then extended west along I-95 to SR 141 (Basin Road), and south along Basin Road to end at U.S. 13/40 (Dupont Highway).
The Blue Ball projects along U.S. 202 between Interstate 95 and SR 261 (Foulk Road) included the redesign of the interchange with Concord Pike north and Concord Avenue (SR 202) south. The loop ramp from I-95 south to SR 202 south was removed to accommodate a new wider entrance ramp from U.S. 202 south to I-95 south. The existing off-ramp from I-95 south to U.S. 202 north was expanded to include a left turn for Concord Avenue. Construction on the $33 million project wrapped up on August 7, 2015.
