 As the route description indicates, the highway was also projected to extend inland from the Gulf of Mexico to connect with existing north–south highways (pre-1955 State Routes 26 and 43) running to the Vermilion Parish cities of Kaplan and Abbeville.The route to Abbeville would also be incorporated into the modern LA 82 in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering while the route to Kaplan would become part of LA 35.When Route 292 was created in 1928, it almost entirely existed on paper only.
