It is entirely a freeway running along the old route of I-85 in the vicinity of Spartanburg, South Carolina, United States.

Road 41 connects with the Fairforest community, to the south, and several industrial and distribution businesses to its immediate north and west.

Another segment existed until 2019 within the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina, and it was also a former alignment of I-85.

[4][5] Spartanburg civic leaders in 2000 proposed that it become I-685 but was turned down by the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) because of cost of upgrades.

As a compromise, the signage was amended calling it a "Freeway Loop" at both end points along I-85.

[citation needed] On July 12, 2021, SCDOT closed the central portion around Hearon Circle for bridge replacements.

In late October 2023, SCDOT then announced that the reopening had been delayed again due to additional work being needed that would take a few months to complete.
