Route 92 was a 6.7-mile (10.8 km) proposed branch of the New Jersey Turnpike that would have run from west to east, beginning at U.S. Route 1 just north of Ridge Road (old CR 522) in South Brunswick Township, east along Route 32, to Exit 8A in Monroe Township. Prior to construction of Route 133, Route 92 was to follow part of its alignment around Hightstown before turning northwest and continuing beyond U.S. Route 1 to U.S. Route 206 and the never-built Somerset Freeway (Interstate 95).

Route 92 was also assigned in the 1953 renumbering and by the late 1950s it was named the Princeton–Hightstown Bypass, a freeway planned to connect the Somerset Freeway (an unbuilt section of Interstate 95) in Montgomery Township (near Skillman), with Route 33 in East Windsor Township (east of Hightstown). It was to be constructed and maintained by the NJDOT. As with the Somerset Freeway, local opposition kept the state from building the road. The Somerset Freeway was canceled in 1982, and in 1987 the planned Route 92 was truncated to only run east from U.S. Route 1 near Kingston. New plans were announced in 1994, this time running to US 1 near Princeton. After public hearings found opposition was still strong, the planned route was truncated to a much shorter bypass of Hightstown only and numbered Route 133. Construction on the road, the first project awarded under New Jersey's modified Design-build program, began on September 20, 1996. The full road was opened November 30, 1999.

The first plans for Route 92's new alignment, running from Exit 8A of the New Jersey Turnpike (rather than Exit 8) west to U.S. Route 206 near Rocky Hill, were made in 1988, using funds from the canceled Somerset Freeway. In 1992, the plans were formally transferred to the New Jersey Turnpike Authority, which announced the new plans in 1994, again dropping the segment west of US 1. All but $6.5 million of the $400 million project was reassigned in November 2005 to widen the Turnpike in southern New Jersey. On October 5, 2006, the United States Army Corps of Engineers in New York City released their "Final Environmental Impact Statement" regarding the spur. The statement did not make it clear that the Army Corps was approving the roadway; however, the report had hints of approval. Despite that, the Authority had already allocated most of the 92 funds to the widening of the turnpike between 8A and 6.
