alignment from US 93/US 95 started construction in 1985–1986.
An interchange was built for SR 146 in 1989–1990,
and the highway was completed by 1995–1996. The designation I-515 was added to the highway. In the same period, SR 147's designation was removed from eastern section of Lake Mead Drive, and replaced by SR 146.
As the Las Vegas Beltway (I-215) was being constructed in the late 1990s, the last between Lake Mead Drive (now Saint Rose Parkway) and Interstate 515 were constructed on the SR 146 alignment. This left SR 146 in two separate segments.
[ The eastern segment of SR 146 was reassigned to SR 564 by 2002.]
