New Mexico State Road 502 is a state highway in New Mexico, United States of America. It is notable as the main access route to Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Bandelier National Monument, Valles Caldera National Preserve, Jemez Mountains, and town of Los Alamos.
New Mexico 502 starts at a single-point urban interchange (SPUI) at U.S. Highway 84/285 in Pojoaque. It passes out of Pojoaque and past San Ildefonso Pueblo to a modern bridge across the Rio Grande beside the historic Otowi Bridge, then to a junction with New Mexico State Road 30 which goes north to Santa Clara Pueblo and Española. NM 502 itself continues west through the spectacular canyon/mesa country of the Pajarito Plateau, to a junction with New Mexico State Road 4 and on to the town of Los Alamos, where it ends. The total length is about 18 miles (29 km). NM 502 is continuous with New Mexico State Road 501, which continues from Los Alamos west to another junction with NM 4 in the foothills of the Jemez Mountains.
