Pennsylvania Route 946 (PA 946) is a rural Pennsylvania state highway that runs approximately 18.2 miles (29.3 km) from PA 248 in Berlinsville east to PA 191 in Newburg in Northampton County. The route heads east from PA 248 a short distance to the south of Blue Mountain, passing through Danielsville and intersecting the northern terminus of PA 987 in Klecknersville. After intersecting PA 512 in Moorestown, PA 946 turns southeast and intersects PA 248 again before reaching its terminus at PA 191. PA 946 was first designated in 1928 onto an unpaved road running from a point between Danielsville and Youngsville and PA 512 in Moorestown while part of PA 512 ran along the alignment east of Moorestown. In the 1930s, PA 946 was extended to its current alignment, replacing that section of PA 512, and was paved.
PA 946 begins at an intersection with PA 248 in the community of Berlinsville in Lehigh Township, Northampton County, heading northeast on two-lane undivided Mountain View Drive. West of PA 248, Mountain View Drive continues towards Walnutport. From the western terminus, the route passes through a mix of farms, woods, and residences. The road curves east and reaches the residential community of Danielsville, where it intersects Blue Mountain Drive a short distance south of Blue Mountain. Past this community, PA 946 heads southeast through a mix of rural areas and residences, curving east and passing through the community of Rockville. The route crosses into Moore Township and runs through a mix of farmland and woodland, passing through the community of Youngsville. The road curves southeast into residential areas, passing through Klecknersville before coming to the northern terminus of PA 987 in Cross Roads. At this point, PA 987 continues southeast and PA 946 turns northeast onto Community Drive, passing more homes before curving east into a mix of farm fields and woods with a few residences. The route curves southeast and reaches the community of Moorestown, where it crosses PA 512.
