Creation: US 41A was approved as a US route in June 1944 (AASHO), though deferred from implementation until 1947 due to controversy surrounding the former US 41E and 41W designations (including the never-posted US 43 and a later desire to have the route via Clarksville be mainline US 41), running generally as it does now, following US 64 from Monteagle to Winchester; TN 16 from Winchester to Kirkland; TN 11 from Kirkland to Nashville

Adjustments: By 1954, US 41A was placed on one-way splits in central Clarksville - SB used the original route of 2nd St while NB used 3rd St/College
By 1975, US 41A was placed on one-way splits in southern Nashville, with NB using Ensley Blvd/2nd Ave and SB using the original routing on 4th Ave.

TN 12 II (8.4 mi)
Comment: US 41A provides a backdoor way from Monteagle to Nashville.
When US 41 was moved onto the TN 150 alignment to provide an alternative to I-24 when it was having problems on the mountain, AASHO suggested Tennessee renumber US 41A as mainline US 41, which Tennessee declined to do.
