History
Iowa Highway 146 was designated along Primary Road No. 63. When the U.S. Highway System was created in 1926, the Iowa State Highway Commission had a policy of renumbering state highways to avoid duplicating U.S. Highway numbers; US 63, in this case. Iowa 146 has been extended northward at least twice. A 2-mile (3.2 km) section of the Lincoln Highway became a part of U.S. Route 30 was straightened between Tama and Marshalltown.
