From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
United States Highway 11 is a north-south United States highway. The route follows largely the same route it did in the original 1926 plan.

Termini
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Rouses Point, New York at the Canadian border. US 11 and U.S. Highway 2 meet, turn north a half mile to the border, and continue as Québec Provincial Highway 223. Its southern terminus is in the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge near Lake Pontchartrain, east of New Orleans, Louisiana at an intersection with U.S. Highway 90.
Until 1929, US 11 ended just south of Picayune, Mississippi at the Pearl River border with Louisiana.
Alternate routes
As of 2004, US 11E and US 11W split in Bristol, Virginia, less than a mile north of the Tennessee state line. The routes rejoin in Knoxville, Tennessee. Together, US 11, US 11E, and US 11W serve the Tennessee-Virginia tri-city area of Bristol, Kingsport, Tennessee (served by US 11W, to the north), and Johnson City, Tennessee (served by US 11E, to the south). From there, the US 11 branches and Interstate 81 travel parallel Appalachian Mountain valleys to Knoxville.
States traversed
The highway passes through the following states:
- New York
- Pennsylvania includes a spectacular drive (with US 15) along the Susquehanna River north of Harrisburg
- Maryland (10 miles, 16 km, in the panhandle, through Hagerstown)
- West Virginia (15 miles, 24 km, through Martinsburg)
- Virginia (a scenic route known as Valley Pike through the Shenandoah Valley)
- Tennessee (US 11 is known as "Lee Highway" throughout most of its route through the state.) (note: This is only true around Chattanooga. The highway is called "Kingston Pike" in Knoxville, and "Congress Parkway" in Athens.)
- Georgia (25 miles, 40 km across the state's northwest corner)
- Alabama
- Mississippi
