History
In Florida, where signs for U.S. Highways formerly had different colors for each highway (until the state was forced by the federal government to conform to standards that required consistent black-and-white signs), the "shield" for US 441 was brown.
In early 2007, the Florida Department of Transportation demolished the NW 7th Avenue Bridge over which the highway passed. The replacement bridge was not finished until 2011, and thus the temporary southern terminus of US 441 was the Miami River rather than the current US 41 in Miami.
