Route
The B3046 runs through rural mid-Hampshire.
It starts on the A339 just south of the bridge under the M3 and winds its way through rural countryside (including a detour to the west to avoid Bugmore Hill) to reach New Alresford, where it forms part of the picturesque market street. There's a brief multiplex with the B3047 (ex-A31) and a bridge over the A31 bypass, before a final section through Cheriton, where the B3046 ends on the A272.
History
Original start of the B3046 in Basingstoke
The only significant alteration to the B3046's route came in 1971 when the M3 was constructed, causing the road to divert east to the A339 instead of meeting it further in town.
