Route 41 is a 17.86-mile (28.74 km) scenic state highway in rural Northwestern Connecticut.
Route 41 begins as Amenia Union Road at a junction with Dutchess County Route 2 in the hamlet of Amenia Union at the New York state line in the town of Sharon.
[1] Connecticut designates various sections of its rural highways as scenic roads.
The scenic designation not only encourages sightseeing but also prevents certain developments alongside and on the road itself that would alter its appearance, including rerouting and widening.
In October 1992, the scenic designation was extended an additional 4.4 miles (7.1 km) to cover the length of the route within the town of Sharon.
