State Route 446 (SR 446) is an eastâwest state highway in the northeastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. The western terminus of SRÂ 446 is at a T-intersection with U.S. Route 224 (USÂ 224) in Canfield, approximately one mile (1.6Â km) west of the downtown area. Its eastern terminus is at a Y-intersection with SRÂ 46 about one mile (1.6Â km) south of Canfield.
Created in the middle of the 1980s, SRÂ 446, which runs entirely within Mahoning County, is a two-lane highway that bypasses Canfield to the southwest. It connects USÂ 224 with SRÂ 46, and intersects USÂ 62 in the process.
Route description
[edit]SRÂ 446 is situated entirely within Mahoning County. The route is not included as a part of the National Highway System.[2]
SRÂ 446 begins at a T-intersection with USÂ 224 in the western end of Canfield. The highway starts out heading south, and promptly departs Canfield and enters into the township of the same name. Abutted by forested lands with a few commercial businesses scattered along the way, SRÂ 446 bends to the southeast, and arrives at its junction with USÂ 62, a signalized intersection. Continuing southeast, the route passes a house, then meets the Mill Creek Metroparks Bikeway. Further southeast, it passes more commercial buildings, and is then bounded by farmland on the south side affiliated with Mill Creek Metroparks. SRÂ 446 reaches its endpoint at this point at a Y-intersection with SRÂ 46 just south of the city limits of Canfield.[3]
History
[edit]What is now designated as SRÂ 446 was originally a part of SRÂ 14, which at the time used this stretch of highway to connect concurrencies it had with USÂ 224 and SRÂ 46, respectively. What is now SRÂ 14 between Deerfield and Columbiana via Salem was then known as Alternate State Route 14 (Alt. SR 14). In 1983, SRÂ 14's routing was changed to replace what was Alt. SRÂ 14. USÂ 224 and SRÂ 46 became solo routes in the stretches where they had previously been concurrent with SRÂ 14, and the former segment of SRÂ 14 bypassing Canfield to the southwest was given a new highway designation: SRÂ 446.[4][5]
Major intersections
[edit]The entire route is in Mahoning County.
