State Trunk Highway 341 (STH 341, WIS 341), better known as Miller Park Way, was the route designation of a segment of the oldest freeway in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It connected Interstate 94 (I-94) to WIS 59 (National Avenue), with a single set of off-ramps to Canal Street and the parking lots of Miller Park.
WIS 341 started at an intersection with National Avenue and Miller Park Way. The highway continued north across a rail line to a folded diamond interchange with Parkway Drive, Frederick Miller Way and General Mitchell Boulevard. This interchange provides access to Miller Park and its surrounding parking lots. The highway continued north, and the WIS 341 designation terminated at an interchange with I-94 and Wisconsin Highway 175. The northern continuation of the roadway is WIS 175 along the Stadium Freeway. Ultimately, the WIS 175 designation replaced that of WIS 341.
WIS 341 was commissioned in 1999 after the reopening of the Stadium Freeway between I-94 and National Avenue. Due to the construction of Miller Park, the old Freeway had to be moved to the east by a few hundred yards. It was rebuilt as an arterial highway with a 45 miles per hour (72 km/h) speed limit and carried the designation US 41, when it reopened on August 6, 1998. US 41 was later rerouted in 1999 when the proposed plan to widen Layton Boulevard was successfully blocked by residents and city officials. Because Layton would no longer meet state highway standards, US 41 was rerouted to follow I-94. The section of the Stadium Freeway south of I-94 was given the WIS 341 designation in August 1999.
