Route description
Chickasha to Tuttle
SH-92 currently begins at an intersection with US-62/277/SH-9, a divided highway east of Chickasha. SH-92 heads northward from this intersection, passing through more rural regions, this time mainly fields and homes. Many of the intersections in this segment are county-maintained roads. Interstate 44 crosses SH-92 at an overpass with no interchange. After leaving I-44 behind, SH-92 begins to run alongside the Stillwater Central Railroad as it continues farther through rural regions, crossing through the village of Amber.The highway leaves Amber, turning to the northeast for a short distance, changing directions several times. SH-92 passes through Sooner, with Tuttle soon after. In Tuttle, SH-92 intersects with local streets before terminating at State Highway 37.
History
State Highway 92 was commissioned between late 1943 and June 1944. As originally commissioned, SH-92 began at US-62/277 east of Chickasha and ended at SH-37 in Amber, the same termini as the present day.Former Lake Burtschi extension
SH-92 began at Lake Burtschi several miles outside of Cement. The highway turns east after the crossing with Lake Burtschi Road continuing farther north. SH-92 headed through downtown Laverty, which is mainly homes and small patches of trees once again. The highway turned northward once again, passing a small pond on its way to Chickasha. SH-92 curved to the east a second time soon after, crossing local roads and train tracks as it entered Norge.In downtown Norge, SH-92 headed to the northeast, paralleling the nearby Interstate 44/H.E. Bailey Turnpike. The region around and north of Norge was rural, with very little development. SH-92 headed in different directions, mainly to the north/northeast. After West Country Club Road, the highway began to enter Chickasha, making a curve to the east onto West Grand Boulevard. The route continued eastward, becoming concurrent with US-81 and US-277 in Chickasha. Grand Avenue continued after. The route continued unsigned until the junction with US-62/SH-9, where it split away from US-81 to the east, following US-277.
This segment was not assigned until 1957. That segment of SH-92 was decommissioned in 2003, bringing the highway to its current southern terminus.
