New Hampshire Route 202A (abbreviated NH 202A) is a 14.639-mile-long (23.559 km) east–west state highway in Strafford and Rockingham counties in southeastern New Hampshire. The western terminus is in Northwood at U.S. Route 202 and New Hampshire 9, near their intersection with U.S. Route 4. Its eastern terminus is in downtown Rochester at New Hampshire Route 108 and New Hampshire Route 125.
The highway forms a northern loop of US 202, from which NH 202A derives its number.
NH 202A is an alternate route to US 202 between Northwood and Rochester. For the most part, NH 202A runs north and west of, but roughly parallel to, its parent route. NH 202A begins in Northwood as an offshoot of US 202, which is overlapped with NH 9, and heads due north towards the town of Strafford. NH 202A runs into the center of town, intersecting and briefly overlapping NH 126 before turning eastward. NH 202A runs to the northeast towards Rochester.
