Route 162 is a state highway in southern Connecticut running for 10.34 miles (16.64 km) from Milford to the West Haven–Orange town line.

Following Main Street northeast, a driver would then have to turn left onto Wagner Place in order to remain on Route 162.

Wagner Place becomes Sawmill Road, which curves left and backtracks to the southwest, meeting I-95 at exit 42.

Bull Hill Lane continues to the northwest, crossing the Orange town line and ending at US 1 after less than a mile.

[1] Route 162 was created in the 1932 state highway renumbering as a five-mile (8 km) road from Route 1 near the Orange-West Haven line to the junction between Jones Hill Road and Ocean Avenue near the Milford-West Haven line.
