Route 41 is a state highway in the U.S. state of New Jersey. It runs 14.08 mi (22.66 km)[1] from the five-way intersection of Route 47 (Delsea Drive), County Route 603 (Fairview-Sewell Road/Blackswood-Barnsboro Road), and County Route 630 (Egg Harbor Road), also known as Five Points[2], in Deptford Township, Gloucester County to the southern terminus of County Route 611 in 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.[1] 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.[1][3]
Route 41 was legislated in 1927 to run from Route 47 in Fairview, Deptford Township to Route 38 in Moorestown.[3][4] Originally, the route was intended to bypass Haddonfield, however this bypass was never fully completed and Route 41 was signed along a temporary county-maintained alignment that also became County Route 573. The northern part of this bypass was completed and became Route 154 in 1953. The road has seen many changes including the replacement of the traffic circle with Routes 38 and 73 with an interchange that involved realigning Route 41 around the original circle in 1960 and the replacement of the Ellisburg Circle at Routes 70 and 154 with a signalized intersection in the early 1990s. The temporary alignment of Route 41 along County Route 573 was made permanent in the early 2000s.[3]
Route description
Gloucester County
Route 41 heads north from the Five Points[2] intersection with Route 47, County Route 603, and County Route 630 in Deptford Township, Gloucester County on a two-lane, undivided road called Hurffville Road. At mile marker 1.57 the route intersects County Route 621 (County House Road) and at mile marker 1.80, it intersects County Route 534 (Good Intent Road).[1] The route continues north to milepost 3.19, where it meets Deptford Center Road, which provides access to the Deptford Mall and Route 55, and a ramp to southbound Route 42.[1][5] Route 41 comes to an interchange with Route 42 at 3.37 miles, with access provided to and from northbound Route 42. [1][5] At mile marker 3.86, Route 41 intersects County Route 544 (Clements Bridge Road), with which it forms a concurrency.[1]
Camden and Burlington Counties
At milepost 4.12, the route crosses the Big Timber Creek into Camden County, running along the border of Runnemede and Gloucester Township. At 4.17 miles, County Route 544 veers to the right onto Evesham Road, and Route 41 continues northeast on Clements Bridge Road into Runnemede. At the intersection with Route 168 at mile marker 4.95, Route 41 becomes county-maintained and runs concurrent with County Route 573.[1] The two routes cross into Barrington at 5.79 miles, where they pass over the New Jersey Turnpike at milepost 6.26. Upon crossing a Conrail railroad line at mile marker 7.09, Route 41 and County Route 573 run along the border of Barrington and Haddon Heights, with Barrington to the southeast and Haddon Heights to the northwest. The two routes pass under Interstate 295 at milepost 7.19 before meeting U.S. Route 30 at a modified traffic circle at 7.24 miles.[1]
Route 41 and County Route 573 continue north on Highland Avenue and cross into Haddonfield at mile marker 7.79, where the road becomes Chews Landing Road. At 8.55 miles, the two routes meet County Route 551 Spur (Kings Highway), and they bear to the right onto Kings Highway, heading northeast.[1] They pass over New Jersey Transit’s Atlantic City Line and the PATCO Speedline at milepost 8.85 and intersect County Route 561 (Haddon Avenue) at mile marker 9.12. The road crosses the Cooper River into Cherry Hill Township at milepost 9.74. At 10.57 miles, Route 41 and County Route 573 make a right turn onto a four-lane divided highway and intersect Route 154 (Brace Road) at mile marker 10.68. At this point, County Route 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 milepost 10.83, where Route 41 crosses Route 70, Route 154 ends and Route 41 continues to the northeast on Kings Highway, a five-lane road with a center left-turn lane.[1][6] Route 41 becomes a four-lane divided highway at the crossing of the Pennsauken Creek at 13.11 miles and enters Maple Shade Township, Burlington County at milepost 13.20.[1] The route interchanges with Route 38 at mile marker 13.37 and Route 73 at mile marker 13.60. It continues to the northeast, where at milepost 14.08, Route 41 ends and Kings Highway continues northeast as County Route 611.[1]
History
Route 41 was legislated in 1927 to run from Route 47 in Fairview in Deptford Township to Route 38 in Moorestown along its current alignment, except through Haddonfield, which it was to bypass to the east.[3][4] Also legislated in 1927 was a spur of Route 41, Route S41, which was to run from the Tacony-Palmyra Bridge to Berlin. Later spurs of Route 41 included Route S41A, which was a southern extension of Route S41 from Berlin to Route 42 (now U.S. Route 322) in Folsom proposed in 1938 and Route S41N, a short route in Palmyra.[3] In the 1953 New Jersey state highway renumbering, Routes S41 and S41A became Route 73 and Route S41N became Route 155. Also, Route 41 was legislaied along a county-maintained temporary route between Route 168 in Runnemede and Route 70 in Cherry Hill Township, signed Route 41 Temporary, when it became the apparent the bypass around Haddonfield would not be fully completed. Only the northermost section of the bypass between County Route 561 and Route 70 had been built and this became Route 154. The county-maintained section of Route 41 also became known as County Route 573.[3]
Since 1953, many changes have occurred along Route 41. Following reconstruction of the traffic circle between Routes 38, 41, and 73 into an interchange in 1960, Route 41 was relocated to a new alignment that bypassed the original traffic circle. In 1984, Route 41 was extended north a short distance on Kings Highway to just south of the County Route 608 (Lenola Road) intersection in Maple Shade Township.[3] In the early 1990s, the Ellisburg Circle at the intersection of Routes 41, 70, and 154 was reconstructed into an intersection with jughandles and traffic lights. This reconstruction involved realigning Route 41 to form a brief concurrency with Route 154 just south of Route 70.[7] In the early 2000s, the Route 41 interchange with Route 42 in Deptford Township was, along with the County Route 544 interchange with Route 42, reconstructed to ease traffic movements in the area.[8] Around 2001, signs for Route 41 Temporary were replaced wirth normal Route 41 signs along the county-maintained portion of Route 41 concurrent with County Route 573.[3] Signs for County Route 573 still remain along this stretch of Route 41.[9]
