46th Street–Bliss Street is the northernmost station on the Flushing Line that is above Queens Boulevard. It has two exits: the 24-hour main entrance/exit at 46 Street and the part-time at 47 Street. The 46 Street mezzanine has dual fare controls, and therefore no free transfer between directions.
In 1998 the "Bliss" signs were removed from this station. It was restored on the stations and subway maps in 2004 as part of a historical move.
The 1999 artwork here is called Q is for Queens by Yumi Heo.
