Highway 92 is a north-south highway in northeastern Israel. It follows the eastern edge of the Kinneret from Ma'agan junction in the south at Highway 98 to Yehudiya junction in the north at Highway 87. It is long.

History

The southern part of the road, from Samakh to Ein Gev, was paved immediately after the end of the Israeli war of independence as part of Israel's efforts to establish facts on the ground in the demilitarized territories according to the armistice agreements between Israel and Syria and was inaugurated in June 1950. Solel Boneh paved the road, one-third in concrete and the rest asphalt.[1] The rest of the road was paved in stages. At the end of 1969, the road was extended from Ein Gev to Kursi, as part of the construction of Route 789 from Kursi to Afik. It was already planned to pave Highway 87 which would go up from the Kfar Nahum junction to the Golan and Highway 92 was planned to connect to this road, in such a way that the Kinneret is surrounded by the road.[2] The road was inaugurated in April 1978.[3]
