Just outside of Monroeville, SR 21 splits between Business (to downtown) and Bypass (to the east) segments. SR 41 follows the Business portion through downtown Monroeville.

Truck SR 47 consists of a bypass of Monroeville that follows U.S. 84 and SR 21 & 41 to the south and east. The route returns to SR 47 north via the bypass.
