Taking the old two-lane ramp from I-95 north onto Concord Pike north at what was then a new overhead for SR 141/261. 12/29/07

Left turns onto Augustine Cutoff south are only permitted from the ending SR202 as U.S. 202 travelers remain separated to the right and bypass the traffic lights. Changes to the intersection now prohibit left turns from Augustine Cutoff onto U.S. 202 north. Augustine Cutoff otherwise north Wilmington via Lovering Avenue to Concord Pike south and West Park Drive north. 05/19/07

Merging onto Concord Pike from northbound I-95 at Exit 8, U.S. 202 quickly partioned with SR261 (Foulk Road) north. The forthcoming at-grade intersection was replaced with a new underpass for SR 141 and SR 261. 03/22/04

SR 261 northbound angled northeast from U.S. 202 (Concord Pike) at the upcoming traffic light. The north-south route cuts a diagonal between Concord Pike and I-95 through the Brandywine Hundred suburbs of Wilmington. 04/21/04

U.S. 202 (Concord Pike) north ahead of what was SR 141 south along Powder Mill Road. 03/22/04

SR 141 south took Powder Mill Road west from U.S. 202 opposite Murphy Road. The north-south route was originally proposed as a full freeway between Fairfax here and I-95 at Newport. The plan included the Newport Freeway and short limited access segment near Greenville at SR 52. Community opposition however led to the cancellation of the project and SR 141, with the exception of the Rockland Road underpass, remains an at-grade facility from SR 100 northward to Concord Pike. 03/22/04

A north U.S. 202 shield assembly replaced the missing marker to the right by December 2007; it was missing again in 2012 and replaced by an error SR 202 shield in 2014. To the left of the Powder Mill Road intersection is the sprawling Astra Zenica pharmaceutical complex and the Rollins high rise. 03/22/04

U.S. 202 (Concord Pike) intersects Powder Mill Road (former SR 141) west and Murphy Road east at the community of Fairfax. Reconstruction in 1998 and 1999 improved the junction to coincide with an expansion of U.S. 202 from former SR141 southward. 04/21/04

U.S. 202 (Concord Pike) south ahead of the former north end of SR 141. Powder Mill Road west to Childrens Lane is now an unnumbered roadway. 04/21/04

SR 261 (Foulk Road) previously intersected U.S. 202 (Concord Pike) at nearly 45 degree angle across from Rockland Road southeast. Traffic congestion occurred routinely at this junction. 04/09/04

Construction associated with the Blue Ball project resulted in a temporary relocation of the U.S. 202 mainline between Augustine Cutoff and Independence Mall between 2004-05. Pictured here is the original roadway of Concord Pike southbound between the former south end of SR 261 (Foulk Road) and Augustine Cutoff. The roadway closed in July of 2004 for 18 months so that crews could construct a pair of underpasses for U.S. 202 at Foulk Road/Route 141 Spur and the new East Park Drive. 04/09/04
