In Bath, the road branches off to the north from the A4 road , crosses the A420 road and, at its junction 18, the M4 motorway . At Hawkesbury Upton , the primary route that had previously formed the road merges with the A433 road to Cirencester , while the northbound A46 to Stroud becomes an easy country road that crosses the A419 road at Stroud . The road continues north through the Cotswolds , crosses the A417 road at Brockworth and ends for the time being in Cheltenham , where it meets the A40 road . The direct continuation north is classified as the A435 road , which joins the A46 south of Beckford . This branches off even at junction 9 from the M5 motorway and initially moves as the primary route to the northwest, bypassing Evesham on the Avon on a bypass and thereby crossing the A44 road . It continues as a dual carriageway via Alcester , where it bends at right angles to the east towards Stratford-on-Avon at the junction of the A422 road and the A435 road , which continues north towards Birmingham , but bypasses the city to the northwest via another bypass and at the junction 15 crosses the M40 motorway, joining the A429 road . Then Warwick to the west and Kenilworth are bypassed. The road becomes six-lane and reaches the Coventry bypass, which leads for a while together with the A45 road to junction 2 of the M6 motorway . Here the A46 turns into the M69 motorway , which at its junction junction 21 meets the M1 motorway near Leicester . At its junction 21A, the independent course of the A46 begins again as a dual carriageway; Leicester is bypassed to the northwest, the A50 road and the A6 road being crossed. After a short walk together with the A607 road , the A46 continues north. She crosses from Nottingham coming, according to Stamford leading and there on the road A1 apt road A606 and Bingham the road A52 . The A46 continues to Newark-on-Trent , where it meets the A617 road and the A1 road and the A17 road, which pass through the city to the east . It then runs northeast towards the cathedral city of Lincoln , which bypasses a bypass to the north that intersects the A15 road , and branches off towards Market Rasen . From there it leads north to Calstor and further east-north- east, where it crosses the A18 road , to the A16 road south of Grimsby , where it loses its character as a primary route, and a short distance further to Cleethorpes on the Humber estuary .
