Nebraska Highway 92 is a highway that enters the state from Nebraska's western border at the Wyoming state line west of Lyman, Nebraska, to the state's eastern border on the South Omaha Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Missouri River in Omaha, where it enters Iowa. Nebraska Highway 92 passes, follows, or runs through a number of the state's principal attractions, including Scotts Bluff National Monument, the Oregon Trail, Chimney Rock National Historic Site, Ash Hollow State Historical Park, Lake McConaughy, the Nebraska Sand Hills, and the City of Omaha. Nebraska Highway 92 is the longest state route in the state at a total of 489.1 miles (787.1 km), and is part of a continuous 886-mile (1,426 km) four-state "Highway 92" which begins in Torrington, Wyoming, goes through Nebraska and Iowa and ends in La Moille, Illinois. It is the only Nebraska Highway to run from the west border to the east border of Nebraska; along the way it crosses the Platte River or its tributary North Platte River a total of five times.
N-92 begins at the Wyoming border west of Lyman and after a brief turn south, heads east passing around the north side of Scotts Bluff National Monument, crosses the North Platte River for the first of three times, and enters the town of Scottsbluff. Starting in Scottsbluff, N-92, US 26, and the North Platte River form a three-way braid, crisscrossing one another several times for 91 miles (146 km) until Lewellen. At Scottsbluff, it overlaps US 26 and N-71, crossing the North Platte River again to its south side, to Gering, where it then turns to the east-southeast, following the route of the Oregon Trail, paralleling the North Platte River and US 26 on the other side of the river. Near Chimney Rock National Historic Site, it overlaps US 26 again until Bridgeport. After a brief concurrency with US 385, it goes southeast until it crosses the North Platte for the third time just before Broadwater. It then again overlaps US 26 a third time from there until Lewellen, where it separates to go through the resort communities along the north shore of Lake McConaughy until it meets N-61. [1] [2]
It overlaps Highway 61 and goes north into the Sand Hills and separates in Arthur. It then goes east, meeting N-97 in Tryon, and encountering N-2 at Merna. It then goes southeast with Highway 2 through Broken Bow and separates at Ansley. It then runs east through Loup City and meets with US 281 in St. Paul. [1] [2]
It runs concurrently with US 281 through St. Paul, crosses the Loup River, and then separates from US 281 and goes straight east, intersects US 30, crosses the Platte River for the first of two times near Clarks and meets US 81 west of Osceola. It is then concurrent with US 81 through Osceola and Shelby, before separating east of Shelby. It then passes through Rising City and then goes straight east until it meets US 77 southwest of Wahoo, Nebraska. It passes through Wahoo concurrent with US 77 and goes east with US 77 until they separate near Mead. After passing the south edge of Yutan, it recrosses the Platte River. [1] [2]
It then encounters US 275, with which it is concurrent for the rest of its distance in Nebraska. Shortly after meeting US 275, it crosses the Elkhorn River and becomes a 4 lane divided expressway shortly before meeting US 6 and N-31. Within Omaha, it meets Interstate 80 and US 75. The street designations for N-92 in Omaha, going west to east, are West Center Road, Industrial Road, L Street and Missouri Avenue. [1] [2] It remains a four-lane suburban arterial street until it enters Iowa on the South Omaha Veterans Memorial Bridge over the Missouri River.
Originally, Route 92 followed the route of the old Oregon Trail through Mitchell Pass in Scotts Bluff National Monument, and then through Downtown Gering. It was later rerouted on a more level route around the north side of Scotts Bluff, through the town of Scottsbluff. Between 1936 and 1973, Nebraska Highway 92 was concurrent with U.S. Highway 30A from Clarks to Omaha.

Interstate 80 (I-80) is an east–west transcontinental freeway that crosses the United States from downtown San Francisco, California, to Teaneck, New Jersey, in the New York metropolitan area. The highway was designated in 1956 as one of the original routes of the Interstate Highway System; its final segment was opened in 1986. The second-longest Interstate Highway in the United States after I-90, it runs through many major cities, including Oakland, Sacramento, Reno, Salt Lake City, Omaha, Des Moines, and Toledo and passes within 10 miles (16 km) of Chicago, Cleveland, and New York City.
Interstate 29 (I-29) is an Interstate Highway in the Midwestern United States. I-29 runs from Kansas City, Missouri, at a junction with I-35 and I-70, to the Canada–US border near Pembina, North Dakota, where it connects with Manitoba Provincial Trunk Highway 75 (PTH 75), which continues on to Winnipeg. The road follows the course of three major rivers, all of which form the borders of US states. The southern portion of I-29 closely parallels the Missouri River from Kansas City northward to Sioux City, Iowa, where it crosses and then parallels the Big Sioux River. For the northern third of the highway, it closely follows the Red River of the North. The major cities that I-29 connects to includes Council Bluffs, Iowa; Sioux Falls, South Dakota; Fargo, North Dakota; and Grand Forks, North Dakota.

The highway's northern terminus is north of Westhope, North Dakota, at the Canadian border, where it continues as Manitoba Highway 83 (PTH 83). The southern terminus is at the Veterans International Bridge in Brownsville, Texas.

Despite not intersecting I-80 even once, much of its length until Grand Island is closely parallel with the interstate, not being more than a mile or two away. For most of its route, US 30 travels within the Platte River valley, adjacent to or near the river between Brule and Fremont, a distance of just over 300 miles (480 km). This corridor was also highly traveled during Westward Expansion along the California and Oregon Trails, it was also used by the Pony Express and the Transcontinental Railroad. The landscape is dominated by vast agricultural fields within the fertile Platte River valley across the center of the state, while the western portion passes through higher plains and the eastern portion through the rolling hills adjacent to the Missouri River valley.
