North Carolina Highway 902 (NC 902) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. The highway connects southwest Chatham County with the county seat of Pittsboro. NC 902 has mostly rural routing going northeast most of the way. NC 902 was created in 1929 running from U.S. Route 64 (US 64) near Asheboro to Carthage but has since been truncated to its current routing over a long period of time.
NC 902 begins at NC 22/NC 42 south of Bennett. NC 902 heads east from there and crosses Falls Creek. From there NC 902 turns northeast and goes through Harpers Crossroads at the intersection of Siler City Glendon Road. The road intersects Edwards Hill Church Road (Secondary Road 1141 or SR 1141) on its way to Bear Creek. The road crosses over Bear Creek before reaching the eponymous town about one mile (1.6 km) down the road. When the route finally enters Bear Creek it crosses over a Norfolk Southern railroad and then intersects Old US 421 S. After the road leaves Bear Creek it crosses over Sandy Branch. NC 902 intersects US 421 northeast of Bear Creek and from there continues northeast to cross Landrum Creek. Approximately one mile from the crossing of Landrum Creek, NC 902 turns to the east to parallel US 64. The road turns left on Pittsboro Goldston Road, and starts to again head northeast towards Pittsboro. NC 902 intersects NC 87 just south of downtown Pittsboro and turns north. NC 902 ends at US 64 Business (US 64 Bus.) in downtown Pittsboro.
