Oregon Route 202 is an Oregon state highway which serves the northwestern corner of the state. It is part of the Nehalem Highway No. 102 (see Oregon highways and routes), and runs between the cities of Astoria and Mist.

[edit] Route description

The western terminus of Oregon Route 202 is an intersection with U.S. Route 101 in Astoria. OR 202 (concurrent for a short stretch with US 101 Business) continues southeast from there, along the eastern shore of Youngs Bay and the Youngs River. Soon after, it enters the valley of the Nehalem River, and continues southeast towards the community of Jewell. Leaving Jewell, it then continues east-northeast to the town of Mist, where OR 202 ends. The Nehalem Highway continues southeast from there, as Oregon Route 47.
