State Route 92 is a primary state highway in the southern part of the U.S. state of Virginia. It runs from U.S. Route 360 south of Clover east and southeast to U.S. Route 58 Business in Boydton. All of SR 92 is the former alignment of State Route 12, the predecessor to U.S. Route 58.

History

The full length of SR 92 was State Route 12 from 1918 to 1933. When SR 12 was eliminated in the 1933 renumbering, most of current SR 92, from U.S. Route 15 at Barnes Junction east to Boydton, became State Route 46; old SR 12 west from Barnes Junction [ [http://historical.maptech.com/quad.cfm?quadname=Clover&state=VA&series=15 1954 USGS topographic map of Clover] ] through Clover to Danville was part of U.S. Route 360. In the 1940 renumbering, the State Route 46 designation was needed to match North Carolina Highway 46, and so the State Route 92 designation was applied to former SR 46 southeast of Chase City. The rest of SR 46, from Chase City west to Barnes Junction, became part of State Route 47, which continued east from Chase City to South Hill and north from Barnes Junction to Pamplin City.

In 1968, a new alignment of U.S. Route 360 was under construction from near Clover to near Wylliesburg (north of Barnes Junction). SR 92 was extended west from Chase City to Barnes Junction, concurrent with SR 47, and then continuing west over old US 360 beyond Clover. [CTB minutes|11-1968-01, page 18] The SR 47 overlap was removed in 1979 when a new alignment for SR 47 northwest from Chase City was adopted. [CTB minutes|09-1979-01, page 14]
