NC 46 was born about 1930, running from NC 481 (current NC 48) Gaston west to meet up with then VA 401. This had not been immediately previously numbered but was at one time part of NC 40 in the earlier 1920s.
About 1948, NC 46 was extended east as new primary routing to US 301 Garysburg.
In August 2025, NC 46 east was truncated to I-95. The route to Garysburg remains NC 186 except for a loop near Garysburg that was bypassed by the new US 158/NC 186 alignment. |
