In the early 1990s the highway was paved from Pilot Butte to Balgonie, and it was again re-paved in the summer of 2014. There are two previous uses of Highway 46 within Saskatchewan. The original route ran from former '' Provincial Highway 29'' at Plenty, through Ruthilda, to ''Provincial Highway 1'' (present-day Highway 4) near Biggar.
