Endpoints of
US Route 341

Brunswick

The south end of US 341 has always been in Brunswick.  It comes into town having been overlapped with US 25 all the way from Jesup -- a distance of about 40 miles.  At first, US 341 probably ended north of downtown at Dock Junction (as did US 25 after 1936), where those routes met US 17 (photos and more info on the Brunswick page).  North from there, US 25-341 traffic has long since been moved off Old Jesup Road, instead following New Jesup Highway.  To the south, US 25-341 traffic was originally directed through Brunswick on Norwich Street, but today bypasses the downtown area via Bay Street.  US 25 splits off onto Gloucester Street, while US 341 continues about a mile further south on Bay, returns to Newcastle, and then heads east on Fourth Avenue.  The last southbound trailblazer was posted at Newcastle:

This photo was looking north on US 41; historically the north beginning of US 341 was to the right:

That is looking north on historic US 41, which originally continued straight ahead along the now-disconnected segment that curves left behind the trees in the distance.  Over the years, nearly all of US 41 between Barnesville and Atlanta has been changed from its original alignment.  It was perhaps in the 1970s that the four-lane (cutting diagonally across the photo) was built.  At that time, northbound US 41 continued by angling to the right on the divided highway, while the four-lane to the left was designated as an extension of US 341.  Heading from left to right along the divided highway, the sign assembly shown here was formerly posted:
