→Pennsylvania Route 41 is a major 22-mile (35 km) long state highway located in southeastern Pennsylvania. The southern terminus of the route is at the Delaware state line in New Garden Township, where it continues as Delaware Route 41. The northern terminus is at U.S. Route 30 just north of Gap.
PA-41, also known as Gap-Newport Pike (or Newport-Lancaster Pike), serves as the primary thoroughfare between Lancaster's eastern suburbs and Wilmington, Delaware; as the original southern terminus of PA / DE 41 was in Newport, the highway's nickname persists. Frequent accidents have motivated PennDOT's many improvements along its length, as well as the addition of signage reminding motorists to drive safely.
