'''Route 41''' is a [[state highway]] in the U.S. state of [[New Jersey]]. It runs {{convert|14.08|mi|km|2|abbr=on}} from the five-way intersection of [[New Jersey Route 47|Route 47]] (Delsea Drive), County Route 603 (CR&nbsp;603; Fairview-Sewell Road/Blackswood-Barnsboro Road), and CR 630 (Egg Harbor Road), also known as Five Points, in [[Deptford Township, New Jersey|Deptford Township]], [[Gloucester County, New Jersey|Gloucester County]], north to the southern terminus of CR 611 in [[Maple Shade, New Jersey|Maple Shade]], [[Burlington County, New Jersey|Burlington County]], just north of the Route 41's interchanges with [[New Jersey Route 38|Route 38]] and [[New Jersey Route 73|Route 73]]. The route is a two- to four-lane suburban road that passes through several communities, including [[Runnemede, New Jersey|Runnemede]], [[Haddonfield, New Jersey|Haddonfield]], and [[Cherry Hill, New Jersey|Cherry Hill Township]]. Between the intersection with [[New Jersey Route 168|Route 168]] in Runnemede and [[New Jersey Route 154|Route 154]] in Cherry Hill Township, Route 41 is maintained by [[Camden County, New Jersey|Camden County]] and is also signed as '''County Route 573''' ('''CR 573''').

Route 41 was legislated in 1927 to run from Route 47 in [[Washington Township, Gloucester County, New Jersey|Fairview]], Deptford Township to Route 38 in [[Moorestown, New Jersey|Moorestown]]. Originally, the route was intended to bypass [[Haddonfield, New Jersey|Haddonfield]], however this bypass was never fully completed and Route 41 was signed along a temporary county-maintained alignment that also became CR 573. The northern part of this bypass was completed and became [[New Jersey Route 154|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 [[New Jersey Route 70|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.

The route crosses the [[Big Timber Creek]] into [[Camden County, New Jersey|Camden County]], running along the border of [[Runnemede, New Jersey|Runnemede]] and [[Gloucester Township, New Jersey|Gloucester Township]]. CR 544 veers to the right onto Evesham Road, and Route 41 continues northeast on Clements Bridge Road into Runnemede.

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 [[Maple Shade Township, New Jersey|Maple Shade Township]]. The [[Ellisburg Circle]] at the intersection of Routes 41, 70, and 154 was reconstructed into an intersection with [[jughandle]]s 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.<ref name="statefarm">{{cite map|publisher=[[State Farm Insurance]]|title= State Farm Road Atlas |year=1983|cartography=[[Rand McNally]]}}</ref><ref name="rm">{{cite map|publisher=[[Rand McNally]]|title=United States-Canada-Mexico Road Atlas|year=1996}}</ref>  In the early 2000s, the Route 41 interchange with Route 42 in Deptford Township was, along with the [[County Route 544 (New Jersey)|CR 544]] interchange with Route 42, reconstructed to ease traffic movements in the area.<ref name="relief">{{cite news|title=Relief Proposed for Traffic Headache|last=Laughlin|first=Jason|date=April 21, 2000|newspaper=The Courier-Post}}</ref> 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.<ref name=SLD/><ref name=gsv1>{{google maps |url=https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=route+41+and+route+47+deptford+nj&daddr=E+Clements+Bridge+Rd+to:39.916583,-75.005722+to:Lenola+RD.+%26+Kings+Highway&geocode=%3BFUIkYAIdBpuG-w%3B%3BFUGUYQId8QSI-yHdpdKvB1Y0cQ&hl=en&mra=dpe&mrcr=0&mrsp=2&sz=11&via=1,2&sll=39.866534,-75.037994&sspn=0.247703,0.439453&ie=UTF8&t=h&ll=39.893966,-75.040398&spn=0.00698,0.027466&z=15&layer=c&cbll=39.89398,-75.0404&panoid=t4jG-qgMVZRQ3QJO4o1UAw&cbp=11,93.92764705729105,,0,3.045312500000001 |title=170 Kings Hwy W.
