Bundesautobahn 241 (translates fromGerman asFederal Motorway 241, short formAutobahn 241, abbreviated asBAB 241 orA 241) was anautobahn inGermany. It led aroundSchwerin and is now part of theA 14.
An extension of the autobahn to theA 20 had been planned in 1992, but failed to be realized due to financial and environmental factors. The current extension will not be finished before 2009.
The former A 241 never carried much traffic becauseSchwerin can be reached from theA 24, a much shorter connection. Also,Wismar could only be reached from the A 241 by driving through narrow avenues, so that theB 106 became the preferred route. More traffic can be expected to flow once the gap is closed and the junction Schwerin-Süd is finished.
On 24 August 2006 the section between the Kreuz Wismar and Jesendorf junctions was opened for traffic. This 11 km long segment of the road cost over €50 million to construct. Once completed, the A 241 will be renumbered as part of theA 14.
