As shown on the U.S. 202 Redesignation Overview map, which can be found HERE, the existing streets signed today as U.S. 202 between Route 63 and Route 611 will revert back to their local street names only as shown on the colored road segments. 

If you have any questions or comments, please submit them through the U.S. Parkway website - www.us202-700.com
