Wisconsin Highway 241


State Trunk Highway 241 is a state highway in the U.S. state of Wisconsin. It runs north–south in southeast Wisconsin from the town of Raymond into Milwaukee, mostly along a previous routing of US Highway 41, for which it is named. The former US 41 routing north of the Milwaukee/Racine County line is locally known as 27th Street.

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 Milwaukee/Racine County line to the Stadium Freeway was moved east to run on the North–South Freeway with I-94.
Until a reconstruction in 2018, the southern terminus of the highway was via it merging directly via north-south ramps with Interstate 94 at the county line. The ramp was then removed, and its terminus was moved a mile south to Seven Mile Road, where it turns onto for a quarter mile and terminates at the northbound on/off ramp with Interstate 94.
