Need those nbsp's between DE and numbers. I'm seeing lots of DE's on one line, then a number on the next line. I don't believe this is a GA requirement but it never hurts.
I know it's called Delaware Route 41, but there doesn't seem to be a single link to Delaware in the entire article. The lead starts off by saying the county name, but should also be providing a wider geographical scope.
You list the northern terminus first in the lead, but then begin to describe the highway from the south up. I'd either list the southern then northern terminus, or list the southern terminus, briefly describe the route, and end with the northern terminus.
"After beginning, the highway is briefly concurrent with DE 2 in Prices Corner." - After beginning is a very strange word combination, and somewhat of a redundant redundancy.
"From here" is "here" the southern terminus, the end of the concurrency with DE 2, or the town limits of Prices Corner furthest from the southern terminus? It's not quite clear from the context.
"In the 1950s, the road from New Castle to north of Newport became concurrent with DE 141." should probably be "In the 1950s, DE 141 became concurrent with the route from New Castle to north of Newport.", otherwise I get the impression that DE 41 was realigned onto the existing DE 141 route. I assume the correct history is that DE 141 was assigned along the existing DE 41 route.
"In Hockessin, DE 41 meets the western terminus of DE 48 (Lancaster Pike), and it merges onto the Lancaster Pike, which is briefly a divided highway before narrowing into an undivided road." - ROS and some redundancy. I suggest "In Hockessin, DE 41 meets the western terminus of DE 48 (Lancaster Pike), onto which it merges. The Lancaster Pike is briefly a divided highway before narrowing into an undivided (sub)urban road."
"DE 41 has an annual average daily traffic count ranging from a high of 50,421 vehicles at the southern terminus at DE 141 to a low of 13,192 vehicles at the DE 48 intersection.[1] None of DE 41 is part of the National Highway System.[3]" - Should be a separate paragraph, as the topic is a very sudden shift from describing the progression of the route to statistics for the entire highway.
"A year later, what would become DE 41 between New Castle and Prices Corner was upgraded to a state highway.[7] By 1932, the portion of road between Brandywine Springs and Lancaster Pike became a state highway.[8]" - Parallelism
"When Delaware assigned state route numbers by 1936, DE 41 was designated to run from US 40 (now DE 9/DE 273) in New Castle north to PA 41 at the Pennsylvania border in Hockessin, following Basin Road north to Newport, James Street through Newport, and the Newport Gap Pike north of there.[9]" - It may read better to make this two sentences; "in Hockessin. It followed" or "in Hockessin. It follows", depending on whether or not that entire stretch is still DE 41.
Ref 4: double periods "Co.." - No need for double periods when an abbreviation ends a sentence (However, other punctuation marks are a different story).
External links: Is it standard practise to use a section header when you've only got the link to Commons? Should that not be made into a side box in the See also section? Personal pref really.
