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 Racine County line to the Stadium Freeway (also known as WIS 341) was moved east to run on the North–South Freeway with I-94.
