U.S. Route 202 Business (US 202 Bus.) is a business route that follows the former alignment of US 202 between Montgomeryville and Doylestown in Pennsylvania that was bypassed by the US 202 parkway in 2012. The route heads northeast from US 202 in Upper Gwynedd Township along five-lane Dekalb Pike through residential and commercial areas. In Montgomeryville, the route turns north to run concurrent with PA 309 on five-lane Bethlehem Pike past several businesses. US 202 Bus. splits from PA 309 by turning northeast onto two-lane Doylestown Road. The route crosses into Bucks County and becomes Butler Avenue, passing through Chalfont and New Britain and curving east. West of Doylestown, the business route turns south to head concurrent with PA 611 on a four-lane freeway to reach its terminus at a cloverleaf interchange with US 202 in Doylestown Township.[4][5] Following the completion of the US 202 parkway in 2012, several businesses along the former alignment saw declines in customers. In 2014, several businesses along the former alignment pushed for the state to designate the road as US 202 Bus. in order to help businesses.[6] The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials Special Committee on U.S. Route Numbering approved the US 202 Bus. designation on May 13, 2015.[5]
