Within the Quad Cities, IL 92 has taken several alignments since its initial signing. The first route ran north alongside U.S. 67 to Milan and east on 1st Avenue and Airport Road to then U.S. 6/150 (27th Street) north into Moline. The route turned east from Downtown Moline as it does today along 4th and 17th Avenues. A shift in 1955 took IL 92 west onto 78th Avenue / Andalusia Road / 10th Avenue West from U.S. 67 at Milan, leaving the former alignment as newly designated IL 192. IL 92 shifted a third time in 1980¹ onto the Centennial Expressway, replacing IL 199 into Downtown Rock Island. The remainder of the route east to Moline was set then as it currently runs today.

The Centennial Expressway runs 4.3 miles northeast from the junction with Interstate 280 in Southwest Rock Island to Downtown along the Mississippi River. The freeway was built in the 1960s as IL 199. Bridges along the freeway across 7th, 18th and 31st Avenues were replaced as part of an $8 million project between Spring 2008 and Fall 2009. The new bridges feature a decorative design topped with small arches resembling the Centennial Bridge.² Speed limits were increased from 55 to 65 miles per hour on the Centennial Expressway in 2011.³
