European route E92 is an intermediate Class AEuropean route that runs through theGreekregions ofEpirus andThessaly, fromIgoumenitsa toVolos.[1]
The E92 number has been used for two routes since the current E-road network came into force in 1983: the current E92 was originally known as theE950, a Class B route that terminated atIoannina instead of Igoumenitsa;[2] the old E92 was a short intermediate Class A route that connected theE55 andE65 nearPatras.[3]
Both routes were introduced with the currentE-road network in 1983:[4] the old E92 was later replaced by a rerouted E65 in 1986.[5]
The two routes that used the E92 number were introduced with the currentE-road network, which was finalised on 15 November 1975 and implemented on 15 March 1983.[4]
The current E92 was originally known as the E950 until 1986 and replaced the E87 of the old E-road network.[6] The E950 was a Class B route that followed the same route as the old E87, fromIoannina toVolos viaTrikala andLarissa.[2]
The old E92 replaced part of the E19 from the old network,[6] and was a short intermediate Class A route that connected theE55 atRio with theE65 atAigio, using theEO8a road (now part of theA8 motorway) for its entire length:[7] at the time, the E65 crossed theGulf of Corinth by ferry betweenAigio andItea.[8]
On 12 September 1986, the E950 became the E92, was upgraded to an intermediate Class A route, and extended westward toIgoumenitsa: the old E92 was replaced by a rerouted E65, which at the time used theRio–Antirrio ferry with the E55.[9] on 12 August 2004, both the E55 and E65 were rerouted via theRio–Antirrio Bridge, although the ferry is still in operation for local and prohibited traffic, such as bicycles.[10]
The current E92, as last revised in 1986 and acceded to by Greece on 9 January 1989,[11] runs fromIgoumenitsa in the west toVolos in the east, viaIoannina andTrikala.[1] In relation to the national road network, the E92 currently follows (in order, from west to east):[12]
A 2:Igoumenitsa – Panagia Trikalon
EO6: Panagia Trikalon –Kalabaka
A 3:Kalabaka –TrikalaEO6:Trikala –Larissa
A 1:Larissa –VelestinoEO6:Velestino –Volos
The E92 runs concurrently with theE90 on the A2 segment, and theE75 on the A1 segment. The E92 also connects with theE55 at Igoumenitsa, theE853 andE951 at Ioannina, and theE65 at Larissa.[13]

When the last section of theA3 motorway opens, the E92 will be rerouted via the A3 fromMourgkani [el] toTrikala, and run concurrently with theE65 for that segment.[14]
