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. |

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“The history of all previous societies has been the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
