PA-47 (1926).svg

PA 46 was first signed in 1927, extending from U.S. Route 6 in Smethport north to US 219 in Bradford. The route was extended southward to Emporium in 1928 when the eastern segment of Pennsylvania Route 47, which ran along present-day PA 46 from PA 120 in Emporium to US 6 in Smethport, was decommissioned after only one year of service.

Pennsylvania Route 46 Truck was a truck route that bypassed a weight-restricted bridge over the Pidgeon Hollow Run in Norwich Township, McKean County, Pennsylvania. The route followed US 6, PA 155 and PA 120. It was signed in 2013. The bridge was completely reconstructed in 2017,[2] thereby removing the need for the route, which was decommissioned in 2018.
