History
Prior to the construction of the freeway, Route 146 used present-day Route 246 and Route 146A. Part of the original alignment, between Interstate 295 and Route 99, was upgraded on the spot.
There is a section of original alignment north of Route 116 on the west side of Route 146 running parallel to the freeway.
| This section requires expansion. |
