U.S. Route 11 (US 11) is a key north-south highway stretching 1,645 miles from New Orleans, Louisiana, to the Canadian border at Rouses Point, New York. Established in 1926, the route retains much of its original path, passing through ten states and offering a scenic alternative to the faster interstates. It runs southwest to northeast, often paralleling I-81.
Louisiana: US 11 begins in the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge in New Orleans, crossing Lake Pontchartrain on the Maestri Bridge, built in 1928. After Hurricane Katrina in 2005, the bridge was the only eastern route into New Orleans. US 11 then parallels I-10 and I-59 before entering Mississippi.
Mississippi: In Mississippi, US 11 runs alongside I-59 through towns like Picayune, Poplarville, Hattiesburg, and Laurel. It serves as a vital regional route, providing access to local businesses, scenic areas, and historical sites. In Hattiesburg, US 11 passes the University of Southern Mississippi, and in Laurel, it moves through a historic downtown before crossing into Alabama at Meridian.
Alabama: US 11 parallels I-59 through Alabama, passing through Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, Gadsden, and Fort Payne. In Tuscaloosa, the highway runs near the University of Alabama and in Birmingham, it passes through historic neighborhoods, offering a glimpse of the state's industrial past. The route crosses into Georgia after Fort Payne.
Georgia: The highway briefly enters Georgia, skirting the northwest corner near Lookout Mountain, with views of the Appalachian foothills before continuing into Tennessee.
Tennessee: In Tennessee, US 11 travels through Chattanooga, following I-75 to Knoxville, where it splits into US 11E and US 11W. US 11E runs northeast through Greeneville, Johnson City, and Bristol, while US 11W passes through Kingsport, meeting US 11E near the Virginia state line.
Virginia: In Virginia, US 11 runs through the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah Valley, connecting towns like Abingdon, Wytheville, Roanoke, and Harrisonburg. The highway follows the Great Wagon Road, an important colonial route, and runs parallel to I-81 through scenic landscapes, historic towns, and Civil War sites.
West Virginia: Entering West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle, US 11 travels through Ridgeway, Bunker Hill, Inwood, and Martinsburg. It runs parallel to I-81 and serves as a main road for these communities, offering a quieter alternative to the interstate.
Maryland: US 11 covers a short 12.83-mile stretch in Maryland, connecting Williamsport, Hagerstown, and Maugansville. It runs parallel to I-81, serving local communities and providing access to historical sites like the C&O Canal National Historical Park in Williamsport.
Pennsylvania: In Pennsylvania, US 11 enters near Greencastle, following I-81 through Chambersburg and Shippensburg. North of Carlisle, the highway passes the "Miracle Mile," known for its traveler services. In Harrisburg, US 11 merges with US 15 and parallels the Susquehanna River, continuing through Danville, Bloomsburg, Wilkes-Barre, and Scranton before reaching New York.
New York: In New York, US 11 follows the Susquehanna River’s eastern edge from the Pennsylvania border to Binghamton, then continues through Cortland, Syracuse, Watertown, and Canton. The highway skirts the edge of the Adirondack Park, moving through rural landscapes before ending at the Canadian border in Rouses Point.
US 11 offers a unique travel experience, showcasing the history, culture, and natural beauty of the eastern United States. Unlike interstates, US 11 takes travelers directly through small towns and communities, preserving its original character while providing a scenic, slower-paced alternative to faster highways.

Today is my birthday!

Paused at 3:54; see the granite business pillar on the right... a familiar name in many areas; here in the Buffalo/WNY area, Bill Fuccillo (RIP) had his big showrooms on Grand Island. His catchword on each commercial was: *"HUUUUUGE-AH!"*

What a nice ride through Lorraine Adams and Adam's center

[@waltersaul1807]

It's lovely to be in Jefferson County, the Town of Adams, and the Hamlet of Adams Center. This is a lovely tribute to two presidents early in our history that passionately opposed each other while in office, but later befriended each other and exchanged letters the rest of their lives, even dying on the same day, July 4, 1826, the Jubilee Year (50th anniversary) of our independence. How desperately we need such friendships today!

Oh I miss libraries

[@jeffreywolff329]

Nice drive amazing how surprised of lack of mountains I thought there was nothing but mountains

[@waltersaul1807]

US 11 skirts the Adirondack region but never enters it. Maybe that's why you are missing the mountains!

[@504RoadTrips]

I was expecting more mountains. We haven't really seen anything with any major changes in elevation since right after Scranton, PA.

[@RichardFelstead1949]

G'day. The weather in this video is the same we're experiencing her in Albury NSW.

Isn't it wintertime there?
