Highway 46 is a

Highway 624 and passes through the communities of Pilot Butte
and Balgonie; it is known as McDonald Street within Regina city limits.

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

Val Marie to Claydon;[8] the route became part of Highway 18 in the 1970s.[4]
