State Route 92 (Virginia)
Encyclopedia
Virginia State Route 92 (SR 92) is a primary state highway
in the U.S. state of Virginia
. The state highway runs 28.97 miles (46.6 km) from U.S. Route 58 Business north and west to US 360
near Clover
. SR 92 connects Boydton and Clover with Chase City
via central Mecklenburg County
, southern Charlotte County
, and northeastern Halifax County in Southside Virginia. All of SR 92 is the former alignment of State Route 12, the predecessor to US 58.
and SR 49
in the center of town. SR 47 heads east on Second Street. Both SR 47 and SR 49 head north on Main Street. SR 92 and SR 49 run concurrently
west from the center of town as Second Street. The two state highways diverge just east of the town limits. SR 92 heads west past Chase City Municipal Airport before entering Charlotte County. SR 92, which is named Jeb Stuart Highway within Charlotte County, intersects US 15
(Barnesville Highway) at Barnes Junction and US 360 (Kings Highway) near Public Fork before reaching the wide floodplain of the Roanoke River
. SR 92's bridge over the river has been closed since 2008. The state highway continues in Halifax County as Clover Road to a Norfolk Southern Railway
rail line, where the highway curves southwest and passes through the town of Clover as Main Street. Just south of town, SR 92 reaches its terminus at US 360 (James D. Hagood Highway).
, 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. The SR 47 overlap was removed in 1979 when a new alignment for SR 47 northwest from Chase City was adopted.

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 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 46North Carolina Highway 46

In 1968, a new alignment of U.S. Route 360 was under construction from near Clover to near Wylliesburg (north of Barnes Junction).
