Route 41 is a

Maple Shade, Burlington County, just north of the Route 41's interchanges with Route 38 and Route 73. The route is a two- to four-lane suburban road that passes through several communities, including Runnemede, Haddonfield, and Cherry Hill Township. Between the intersection with Route 168 in Runnemede and Route 154 in Cherry Hill Township, Route 41 is maintained by Camden County
and is also signed as County Route 573 (CR 573).

Route 41 was legislated in 1927 to run from Route 47 in

Ellisburg Circle at Routes 70
and 154 with a signalized intersection in the early 1990s. The temporary alignment of Route 41 along CR 573 was made permanent in the early 2000s.

Route description

Route 41 northbound past Route 42 in Deptford Township

Route 41 heads north from the Five Points intersection with Route 47 (Delsea Drive), CR 603 (Fairview-Sewell Road/Blackswood-Barnsboro Road), and CR 630 (Egg Harbor Road) in Deptford Township, Gloucester County, on a two-lane, undivided road called Hurffville Road.[2] The route intersects CR 621 (County House Road) and then intersects CR 534 (Good Intent Road).[1] The route continues north and meets Deptford Center Road, which heads west and provides access to the Deptford Mall and the Route 55 freeway, and a ramp to southbound Route 42 (North–South Freeway).[1][3] Route 41 comes to an interchange with the Route 42 freeway, with access provided to and from northbound Route 42.[1][3] Past Route 42, Route 41 intersects CR 544 (Clements Bridge Road), with which it forms a concurrency.[1]

View north along Route 41 at Route 73 in Maple Shade

Route 41 and CR 573 continue north on Highland Avenue and cross into

divided highway and intersect Route 154 (Brace Road). At this point, CR 573 ends and Route 41 makes a left turn onto a six-lane divided highway, becoming state-maintained again and forming a concurrency with Route 154.[1]

At the point Route 41 crosses Route 70 (Marlton Turnpike), Route 154 ends and Route 41 continues to the northeast on Kings Highway, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane.[1][3] Route 41 becomes a four-lane divided highway at the crossing of the Pennsauken Creek and enters Maple Shade Township, Burlington County.[1] The route interchanges with Route 38 and with Route 73 a short distance later. It continues to the northeast, where Route 41 ends at the end of state maintenance and Kings Highway continues northeast as CR 611.[1]

History

Route 41 Temporary signage with CR 573 signage at US 30 on the border of Barrington and Haddon Heights

From

Cherry Hill Township, signed Route 41 Temporary, when it became apparent the bypass around Haddonfield would not be fully completed.[8] Only the northernmost section of the bypass between CR 561 and Route 70 had been built and this eventually became Route 154.[8][9] The county-maintained section of Route 41 also became known as CR 573.[9]

Since 1953, many changes have occurred along Route 41. During reconstruction of the traffic circle between Routes 38, 41, and 73 into an interchange by the 1970s, Route 41 was relocated to a new alignment that bypassed the original traffic circle and extended north a short distance on Kings Highway to just south of the CR 608 (Lenola Road) intersection in

Ellisburg Circle at the intersection of Routes 41, 70, and 154 was reconstructed into an intersection with jughandles and traffic lights by the 1990s. This reconstruction involved realigning Route 41 to form a brief concurrency with Route 154 just south of Route 70.[10][11] In the early 2000s, the Route 41 interchange with Route 42 in Deptford Township was, along with the CR 544 interchange with Route 42, reconstructed to ease traffic movements in the area.[12] Signs for Route 41 Temporary and CR 573 still remain along this stretch of Route 41, which today is officially considered to be a part of mainline Route 41.[1][13][14]
