Route 341 begins in Lewisporte an intersection with Route 340. It heads north along the banks of Burnt Bay as Main Street to pass through a business district and some neighbourhoods before entering downtown, where Route 341 makes a sharp left at an intersection Route 342. The highway now travels northwest through inland neighbourhoods as Premier Drive before leaving town and becoming Laurenceton Road.
