History
SR 241 appeared on its present route in the 1933 renumbering, following the former route of State Route 717, which itself appeared in 1930.
As of 2012, the Telegraph Road interchange with I-495 is undergoing a major reconstruction by VDOT as part of the larger Woodrow Wilson Bridge project. The purpose of the project is to alleviate roadway congestion by separating traffic exiting I-495 on to Huntington Avenue, Telegraph Road and North Kings Highway. The expected completion date for the project is mid-2013.
