13.00 miles; from US 1 in Branford to US 1 in Guilford. Route 146 is a state scenic road. The Danbury News-Times wrote: "Take this 12.2-mile tour through the shoreline towns of Branford and Guilford. Enjoy the cool, sea breezes as you pass salt ponds and scenic marshland. see dreamy summer cottages, magnificent beach front homes, and the popular Thimble Islands just offshore. Or taste the catch of the day at one of our many local restaurants. For all the 'salty dogs' out there, this is one Connecticut road you won't want to miss." By all means, don't take your 18-wheeler: a railroad overpass along the route will peel the top off anything taller than 8 feet, 8 inches. |

In the 1920s, State Highway 146 followed today's Route 195 between US 44 and Route 89. The modern Route 146 was commissioned in 1932. Its original length was 8.04 miles, and followed this route, from west to east:
At some point before 1963, it was extended eastward along Boston St. to end at US 1. In 1963, it was extended westward, taking over parts of Stony Creek Rd., Totoket Rd., and the former Route 143. |
