Sentence "gonna have to"

Hi friends,

I'm new to this forum. I love English that is why I want to improve my skills in this language. Please correct my question also if needs be.

Question: "I'm gonna have to go on that way"
Can this sentence be an alternative to this one: "I'm going on that way" ?
In my understanding, "have to" is an alternative to English word "must".
"You have to go there". "You must go there". If this is right than "gonna have to go on" should not be an alternated to "going on". Please reply...
