California State Route 92
Encyclopedia : C : CA : CAL : California State Route 92
State Route 92 is an east-west highway in the San Francisco Bay Area between Half Moon Bay, California near the coast (and California State Highway 1) in the west and downtown Hayward, California at its junction with State Route 238 and State Route 185. It has interchanges with three freeways: Interstate 280 (the Junipero Serra Freeway), U.S. Route 101 (the Bayshore Freeway) in or near San Mateo, and Interstate 880 (the Nimitz Freeway). It also connects indirectly to Interstates 238 and 580 by way of Hayward's Foothill Boulevard, which carries Route 238 and flows directly into Route 92.
Between Half Moon Bay and Interstate 280, Route 92 winds through the Coast Range as a narrow, mainly undivided two and three lane highway with a switchback turn. The east-bound uphill portion was upgraded with a long passing lane. Between Interstate 280 and Interstate 880 it is entirely a divided multilane highway, including the toll Hayward-San Mateo Bridge, the longest span across the San Francisco Bay. East of Interstate 880 the route becomes a divided surface street in Hayward.
All of Route 92 that is not already a freeway or a toll bridge has been proposed as a freeway, none of which has been built. An upgrade of the intersection with Main Street in Half Moon Bay is in the late planning stage, and a grade separation at the route's Hayward terminus is planned.
