context_page_description: Pennsylvania Route 546 is a 3.586-mile-long state highway in the northernmost regions of McKean County, Pennsylvania. The route, known locally as Oil Valley Road, begins at an intersection with PA 346 in the community of Duke Center. The highway heads northward, through mountainous regions before crossing the state line and into New York, where it continues as Duke Center Road to New York State Route 16.
  PA 546 was designated in the 1928 numbering of state highways in the commonwealth. The route was under construction and unpaved for two years afterward, and by 1930, the route was complete and has remained virtually intact since.
context_section_description: PA 546 began in the 1928 numbering of state highways in the commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The route was assigned at the time on its current alignment, but the highway was not completely constructed. At the time, the sections of PA 546 from the community of Duke Center to a location 2 miles (3.2 km) north were incomplete. By 1929, this missing piece was completed, and was paved. However, the road was not complete, as there was an unpaved piece of PA 546 from that point This unpaved area was finished by the next year. PA 546, although, has remained intact in terms of alignment since its assignment in 1928.
  Duke Center Road, the road that continues north into New York, was originally designated as County Route 45 in Cattaraugus County, but the designation was decommissioned and turned over to the town of Allegany.
