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.
Route description
North Carolina Highway 902 (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 (SR 1141 or SR 1141) on its way to Bear Creek. NC 902 crosses over Bear Creek before reaching the actually town about a mile down the road. When NC 102 finally enters Bear Creek it crosses over a Norfolk Southern Railroad and then intersects Old US 421 S.[2] 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. NC 902 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 in downtown Pittsboro.[3][4]
History
NC 902 first appeared on the North Carolina state highway map running from US 64/NC 90, in Asheboro, to NC 74 (now NC 24/NC 27), west of Carthage. By 1933, NC 902 was removed off its routing from Bennett to its western terminus near Carthage. Instead NC 902 was routed along a concurrency with NC 64 and then along new routing to US 421 near Bear Creek.[5]
Between 1958-63, NC 902 was truncated, just south of Bennett, at NC 22/NC 42; the old alignment became part of NC 42.[6][7] In 1964, NC 902 was extended east to its current eastern terminus at US 64/NC 87, in Pittsboro.[7][8] In 2000, NC 87 was rerouted onto the .8 miles (1.3 km) of NC 902 in Pittsboro.[9][10]
