Route description

State Route 292 travels through the northeastern quadrant of Logan County and the southern portion of Hardin County. No segment of the highway is incorporated within the National Highway System.[2]

History

Certified in 1932, State Route 292 was originally a spur route that traveled from Ridgeway to Mount Victory via its current routing from Ridgeway up to the current State Route 273 junction, and State Route 273 from that point east to State Route 31 in Mount Victory. .[3][4] Five years later, the highway was extended south to East Liberty, and with an extension of State Route 273 over what was State Route 292 east to Mount Victory, State Route 292 was also extended north from the State Route 273 intersection north to a new northern terminus at State Route 31 just south of Kenton.[5][6]

By 1997, when U.S. Route 33 was converted to a four-lane expressway through southeastern Logan County, State Route 292 was extended again, taking over several miles of the U.S. highway's former two-lane alignment, as far as a point in southern Jefferson Township between Zanesfield and Valley Hi, where State Route 292 arrived at what is currently its southern terminus at a diamond interchange with the new expressway.[7][8]
