Route description
editSR 202 begins at an intersection with SR 69, just northeast of Saltillo. It heads north as Brooksie Thompson Road to pass through rural areas to have an intersection with SR 114. The highway continues to wind its way north to come to an intersection and become concurrent with US 641/SR 69. They then head north to enter Decaturville, where they bypass downtown to the west and have an intersection with SR 100.

It then has an intersection with SR 201, where it turns north along Beacon Road to cross a bridge over the Beech River and pass through the community of Beacon before coming to an end at an intersection with US 412/SR 20.
