Route description

Iowa Highway 202 begins in Fabius Township, in Davis County, at the Missouri state line just north of Coatsville, Missouri. It continues in Missouri as Route 202. For its first 8 miles (13 km), it runs parallel to a former line of the Norfolk & Western railroad.[4] Because of its proximity to the abandoned rail line, Iowa 202 follows an unusual path; heading northeast, turning north, and then turning northwest into Appanoose County. It continues to the northwest for 5 miles (8.0 km) before going through an ess curve which points Iowa 202 to the north towards Moulton. North of Moulton, Iowa 202 continues due north for 3 miles (4.8 km), ending at Iowa Highway 2 in Washington Township.[3]

History

Iowa Highway 202 was designated in the 1969 renumbering, having previously been designated Iowa Highway 142.[1][2] No changes to the route have occurred since its designation.
