Pennsylvania Route 341 (PA 341) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. The route runs 10.7 miles (17.2 km) from PA 230 in Londonderry Township in Dauphin County east to PA 241 in South Londonderry Township in Lebanon County.

History
When Pennsylvania first legislated routes in 1911, what is now PA 341 was not given a legislative number. [5] PA 341 was designated by 1930 to run from US 230 (now PA 230) east of Middletown east to PA 241 near Colebrook along its current alignment. At this time, the route was paved for a short distance east of US 230 and in the Deodate area while remainder was unpaved. [6] The entire length of the route was paved in the 1930s. Also, the route was realigned to head southeast along Lawn Road to end at PA 241 in Lawn. [7] PA 341 was realigned back to its current eastern terminus in the 1940s. [8]
