State Trunk Highway 241 (often called Highway 241, STH-241 or WIS 241) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in southeast Wisconsin from Oak Creek to Milwaukee along a previous routing of US Highway 41 (US 41), for which it is named.

History

WIS 241 was created in 1999 when state highway officials decided to reroute US 41 off South 27th Street in Milwaukee. The change was done because residents on the section north of West Forest Home Avenue objected to a proposed widening project. In response, the entire section of US 41 from the Racine County line to the Stadium Freeway (also known as WIS 341) was moved east to run on the North–South Freeway with I-94.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Milwaukee County.
