State Highway 392 (SH 392) is a 45.33 mi (73.0 km)state highway inLarimer andWeld counties inColorado, United States, that connectsU.S. Route 287 (US 287) on the southern edge ofFort Collins withColorado State Highway 14 (SH 14) inBriggsdale.
SH 392 begins at aT intersection with US 287 on the southerncity limits of Fort Collins in Larimer County, southwest of Robert Benson Lake. From its western terminus, SH 392 heads east as Carpenter Road to crossCounty Road 13 (South Lemay Avenue) andCounty Road 11 (South Timberline Road), where it briefly entersRedmond before entering the Fossil Creek Regional Open Space, along which is located the Fossil Creek Reservoir. As the road continues eastward through the park, it becomes the southern boundary before adiamond interchange at (Exit 262) withInterstate 25/U.S. Route 87 (I-25/US 87).[2]
East of I-25/US 87, the SH 392 briefly continues through farmland before crossing the Larimer–Weld county line. Afterwards, it begins a briefconcurrency withSH 257 withinWindsor and passing just south ofWindsor Lake. SH 392 then continues through rectangularly shaped fields before crossingUS 85, where it curves slightly southeastward. As the road continues eastward, the fields become circular, and the road turns slightly northeastward. The surrounding land then becomes barren grassland as the road abruptly turns eastward then sharply northward.[2] The SH 392 then meets its terminus several miles later atSH 14 on the northwestern edge ofBriggsdale. The roadway continues north asCounty Road 77.
The route was established in 1949, where it began at SH 257 in Windsor and continued east toBarnesville. The road was then paved entirely by 1958, then extended to today's I-25/US 87 in 1960. The route was then extended east toCornish; this section was paved by 1977. The route was then extended to its current eastern terminus at Briggsdale at SH 14 the next year. In 1994, the section east of the former SH 37 was deleted.[3]
In 2007, the section between US 287 and I-25/US 87 was added to SH 392 and the formerly deleted section eastern was re-added.[3]
