Route description[]

SR 46 begins at an intersection with US 1, SR 3, and SR 15 on the town line between Orland and Bucksport. It runs almost directly on the border for 1 mile (1.6 km) before turning northward into Bucksport. SR 41 crosses through the western edge of Dedham and then the eastern edge of Holden, where it crosses US 1A. SR 41 crosses into Eddington where it runs along the east side of the Holbrook and Davis Ponds before reaching its northern terminus at SR 9.

History[]

The entirety of SR 46 used to be part of SR 175 as first designated in 1925. In 1960, SR 175 was truncated to its current northern terminus in Orland and its concurrency with US 1 / SR 3 / SR 15 was eliminated. The remainder of its northern segment was renumbered SR 46.
