New York State Route 392 (NY 392) is an east–west state highway in south-central New York in the United States. The western terminus of the route is at an intersection with the concurrency of NY 13 and NY 38 in the village of Dryden in Tompkins County. Its eastern terminus is at a junction with U.S. Route 11 (US 11) in the hamlet of Messengerville within the Cortland County town of Virgil. NY 392 passes through the hamlet of Virgil, where it intersects NY 215.
The portion of NY 392 east of NY 215 was originally designated as part of NY 90 in the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. In the early 1980s, the state of New York assumed maintenance over an east–west county-maintained highway linking NY 13 and NY 38 in the village of Dryden to NY 90 in the hamlet of Virgil. NY 90 was truncated to Homer following the acquisition of the roadway, and the new roadway was combined with NY 90's former routing from Virgil to Messengerville to create NY 392.

Famous quotes containing the words york, state and/or route:
“I think that New York is not the cultural center of America, but the business and administrative center of American culture.”
—Saul Bellow (b. 1915)
“Farewell? a long farewell to all my greatness.
This is the state of man; today he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes, tomorrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honors thick upon him:
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls as I do.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
