46th Street–Bliss Street is the northernmost station on the Flushing Line that is above Queens Boulevard. It has two exits: the main entrance/exit with a booth at 46th Street and a HEET at 47th Street. Contrary to most entrances, the main entrance do not allow a free transfer between directions, but the HEET entrance does.
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.
