Iowa Highway 92 (Iowa 92) is a state highway that runs from east to west across the state of Iowa. Iowa 92 is 275 miles (443 km) long. It begins at the Missouri River in Council Bluffs, where it is a continuation of Nebraska Highway 92. It stretches across the state and serves roughly demarcates the southern one-third of Iowa. It ends at the Mississippi River in Muscatine where it continues into Illinois as Illinois Route 92. In 1939, Iowa 92 replaced the original Iowa 2 in its entirety.
From its eastern terminus is Muscatine, Iowa 92 immediately becomes concurrent with Business U.S. Highway 61 and follows Business 61 southbound in a southwesterly direction towards the southern terminus of Business 61 near the Muscatine Industrial Connector where they meet U.S. Highway 61. After that intersection, Iowa 92 is then concurrent with U.S. 61 southbound for about 11 miles (18 km) and crosses the border from Muscatine County into Louisa County. Near the Louisa County town of Grandview, Iowa 92 splits off from U.S. 61 heading west and passes by the Louisa County town of Fredonia, crosses the Iowa River and passes through Columbus Junction. A few miles later, Iowa 92 crosses the border from Louisa County into Washington County. Iowa 92 intersects U.S. Highway 218 and Iowa Highway 27 at a freeway interchange before passing through Ainsworth. After 7 more miles, it enters the city of Washington, which is the county seat for Washington County.
