Route description
Highway 41 travels through the following communities: Northbrook, Cloyne, Vennachar Junction, Denbigh, Griffith, Khartum, Eganville and Rankin.
Highway 41 proceeds through the counties of Lennox/Addington, Frontenac, and Renfrew. Its routing is shared with Highway 60 from Eganville to a point approximately 4 km north of Eganville.
History
Highway 41 was first assumed in the mid-1930s, though ironically it is the only section that is no longer part of the route. On May 1, 1935, the Department of Highways (DHO) designated the Napanee–Kaladar Road through Lennox and Addington County, a distance of 49.5 kilometres (30.8 mi), and numbered it as Highway 41.[2] Just over two years later, the route was extended to Highway 60 at Golden Lake. The DHO assumed the portion within Lennox and Addington on October 6, 1937, followed two weeks later by the portion within Renfrew County on October 20. This extended the highway by 125.4 kilometres (77.9 mi).[3]
Both Highway 60 and Highway 41 shared a terminus at a junction in Golden Lake until 1957, when the Eganville to Pembroke Road was designated as Highway 41. The section of highway between Eganville and Golden Lake became an extension of Highway 60.[citation needed]
On January 1, 1998, the section of Highway 41 between Highway 2 in Napanee and Highway 7 in Kaladar was transferred to the county of Lennox and Addington, truncating the highway by 48.9 kilometres (30.4 mi).[4]
