State Route 92 is an 11-mile-long (18 km) route in the southeastern part of the state. The western terminus of the route is at its junction with State Route 167 southeast of Enterprise. The eastern terminus of the route is at its junction with U.S. Highway 84 in rural Houston County north of the unincorporated community of Wicksburg.
History
While the current designation of SR 92 was created in 1962, the route has undergone significant realignment since then. Initially, the route connected Daleville in Dale County and Wicksburg in Houston County, running in a southeasterly direction from a junction with SR 85 to a junction with U.S. Route 84. The route was realigned in 1995 when it essentially exchanged routes with US 84. The former route of SR 92 was improved; becoming a four-lane divided highway, and US 84 was realigned to the enhanced roadway. By rerouting US 84 through Daleville, it provided access to Fort Rucker along a U.S. highway.
Route description
The current route of SR 92 travels through Coffee and Dale Counties along a two-lane road, mainly through rural areas of Alabama's Wiregrass region and travels in a general east–west orientation. The route shares a brief concurrency with SR 85 as it approaches Clayhatchee.
