Creation: Appeared Oct 1940 (CTB) as a renumbering of VA 34 running essentially the way it does now. This is the 3rd VA 46.
| Adjustments:In Sept 1946 (CTB), VA 46 was rebuilt in a 2-mile stretch around the Nottoway-Brunswick line, leaving behond abandoned alignments. In 1948, VA 46 was removed from SR 715 and the historic Gholson Bridge and placed on its current direct routing across the Meherrin River south of Lawrenceville.
In 1969, VA 46 was given its routing across I-85, leaving behind a brief US 1 duplex, SR 756 Little Doe Rd, and abandoned routing on the west side of I-85. In Aug 1971 (CTB), VA 46 was removed from SR 766 Rock Church Rd, SR 767 Berean Rd, and SR 768 Mason Grove Ln south of Lawrenceville. In April 1979 (CTB), VA 46 was removed from SR 729 New Hope Rd in Danieltown.
Improvements: Fully paved upon designation VA 46 has no multilane segments Posted: Fully posted; Truck Route: A posted VA 46 TRUCK exists at Lawrenceville. It uses the entirety of the US 58 Bypass plus US 58 Business east of downtown. The point is to avoid a couple tight turns in close proximity. Multiplexes: US 58 Bus (1.00 mi) Legislative names: None Other names: Brunswick Rd (Nottoway Co); Christiana Hwy (Brunswick Co); Windsor Ave/Church St/Main St/Hicks St (Lawrenceville) Scenic Byway: VA 43 duplex (since 12/17/92) US 460 east to SR 636 Sliders (since 2/16/95) Comment: VA 46 is one of the quietest routes in Virginia. The 1939 VDOT report on primary system development had recommended that VA 46 (then-VA 137) be decommissioned from Danieltown to Blackstone. | Previous VA 46's:
