It continues north through farmland along the southeastern edge of the Highland Rim and turns east, then northeast as it moves around . After passing Short Mountain, SR 146 goes into DeKalb County as Short Mountain Highway, continuing northeast through . It serves as the southern terminus of SR 83 before entering Smithville. Once in Smithville, SR 146 widens to four lanes with a center turn lane and becomes known as South Mountain Street. It continues northward through neighborhoods before entering a business district and coming to its northern terminus at U.S. 70/SR 26 just south of downtown.[2]
A former alignment of SR 146 saw the Cannon County portion extended further south from the current southern terminus by approximately 1,000 feet (300 m). This section was de-designated as SR 146 when U.S. 70S was moved further north along a new four-lane alignment.
