History

Present-day Highway 392 was created as a state highway on April 24, 1963, as Highway 206 between US 62 and Capps as part of a large addition mileage to the state highway system. The designation was extended along a county road to Highway 7 in Harrison two years later. Following construction in Harrison, Highway 206 was extended one block along Pine Street to a relocated Highway 7 (Central Avenue) in 1967. With three Highway 206 designations in Boone County, local leaders asked the
