Background:  State law prescribes a numerical designation for each state highway and describes each highway route.

State Route (SR) 2 crosses the state from west to east and enters Idaho at Newport.  At Newport the route takes two courses, easterly to connect with Idaho SR 2 at the border, as well as southerly on the border for four-tenths of a mile to connect with Idaho SR 41.  The southerly route is also designated SR 2.

Summary:  A four-tenths mile portion of existing State Route 2 in Newport, which connects with Idaho SR 41, is renamed as a new state highway, State Route 41.
