History

Highway 41 was created during the

Arkansas State Highway Commission extended the route to Chismville on June 23, 1965.[11] The Highway 41 designation was extended to the current northern terminus at Citadel Bluff Park on September 25, 1968.[12] Road construction in Foreman led to a minor alignment change in 1970, with the Highway 41 designation moving from 10th Avenue, Schuman Street, and Bell Street to the newly constructed Madden Street.[13] A similar realignment took place in De Queen in 1980; with Highway 41 being rerouted away from the historic city center to a newly constructed roadway.[14]
