Route 102 is a state highway in southwestern Connecticut running from the center of Ridgefield to the Branchville section of the same town.
Route 102 begins at an intersection with Route 35 in Ridgefield center and heads east towards Branchville. It ends at a channelized intersection with US 7 in Branchville, near the Branchville railroad station of the Danbury Branch of the Metro-North Railroad. The eastern terminus is located just west of the Ridgefield-Redding town line. The entire route is known as Branchville Road.
The entire length of Route 102 has been designated as the Robert Mugford Memorial Highway, named after a Connecticut Department of Transportation crew leader who was killed in August 2005 when a limousine struck him while placing orange safety cones along Route 7 in Norwalk. The limousine driver was found guilty and served 6 months in prison as well as permanent loss of his commercial drivers license. The portion of Route 7 where the accident occurred already had a commemorative name and the designation of nearby Route 102 was the compromise reached with the family.
