From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Multi State Highway 92 is an east-west combination of four connected State Roads numbered 92, extending 886 miles (1,426 km) from Torrington, Wyoming to La Moille, Illinois, consisting of Wyoming Highway 92, Nebraska Highway 92, Iowa Highway 92, and Illinois Route 92.
Unlike other multi-state state routes such as those that originated in the New England road marking system, Route 92 appears not to have been planned, but likely arose when state highway officials saw Route 92 in a neighboring state ending at their state line, and gave the number 92 to their own connecting route as a matter of convenience.[1] Consequently, it has been said that it "doesn't go anywhere important, and takes its time getting there..."[2] Route 92 passes through the Omaha and Quad Cities metropolitan areas, though it is not the main route connecting them. Most of Route 92 is roughly paralleled by Interstate 80. Very few travel it from end to end, except for determined Road Geeks.
A second, much shorter, Multi State Highway 92 exists, consisting of Kansas Highway 92 and Missouri Route 92, connecting in Leavenworth, Kansas on the Leavenworth Centennial Bridge over the Missouri River. That road is not covered in this article.
