    History

    The present alignment of Highway 46 used to be the original alignment of Highway 1,[2] but was reverted to a gravel grid road when the Trans-Canada Highway was realigned entering Regina along Victoria Avenue in the 1950s.[3][4] In the early 1980s, Highway 46 was assigned to the route[5] and was subsequently paved from Regina to Pilot Butte.[6] In the early 1990s, the highway was paved from Pilot Butte to Balgonie. It was again re-paved in the summer of 2014.

    There are two previous uses of Highway 46 within Saskatchewan. The original route ran from former Provincial Highway 29 at Plenty, through Ruthilda, to Provincial Highway 1 (present-day Highway 4) near Biggar.[7] The route was decommissioned in the 1930s when Highway 51 was constructed between Kerrobert and Biggar.[2] A second use was in the 1960s when Highway 46 travelled from Highway 4 near Val Marie to Claydon;[8] the route became part of Highway 18 in the 1970s.[4]
