By 1951, US 241 was removed from Old Chestnut Ridge Rd north of TN 129.
In July 1952, US 241 was renumbered as US 231. This was the resolution of two competing proposals. one was to extend US 241 north as new US routing to Owensboro KY. The other was a new US route corridor from Panama City FL to the Chicago area. These proposals were sorted out by changing US 241 to US 231 north of Huntsville AL. Note that Tennessee changed the postings to US 231, but changed them back to US 241 because current maps showed only US 241. In August 1953, Tenneessee notified AASHO that new maps showing US 231 were in distribution and the US 231 signs would go back up immediately.
US 241 is still US 231 except: Main St, College St, Mulberry Ave and Shelbyville Hwy through Fayetteville; now-removed street east to and around the courthouse to Main St in Shelbyville; Church/Vine/Spring above Broad in Murfreesboro (endpoint was Main at Spring).
