Arkansas Highway 241
Route description
The route begins at US 49 and Highway 39 in eastern Monroe County in an aquaculture/agricultural area within the Arkansas Grand Prairie. Highway 241 runs due west as a section line road to an intersection with Highway 17 toward Keevil and Brinkley. After overlapping for 1.0 mile (1.6 km), Highway 241 turns due west, running to an intersection with Highway 302, where it terminates.
History
Highway 241 was created by the Arkansas State Highway Commission on July 10, 1957 as a highway of 5.6 miles (9.0 km) between Clarendon and Keevil. The Commission later modified the previous order, extending the highway by 3.4 miles (5.5 km) on February 26, 1958. The route was extended east to Highway 17 at Keevil on July 2, 1960, and to US 49 and Highway 39 on June 23, 1965. On January 26, 1977, the north-south portion of the highway to Clarendon was redesignated as Highway 302 to improve route designation continuity, leaving the remaining segments of east–west section line road with an odd-numbered designation normally indicative of north–south routes.
