Route description

The southern terminus of SR 241 is located at its intersection with US 278 in Whitehouse. From this point, the route travels in a northerly direction to its northern terminus at its intersection with SR 237 in Shady Grove.

SR 241 shares a brief concurrency with SR 172 while it travels through Allens Factory.
