- Road Trip #1027 - US Highway 11 North - New York Mile 247-256 - Moira/Brushton
We drive through Franklin County, New York, passing through the Towns of Moira and the village of Brushton. We finally get to the road closure, which involves a very short detour down some county roads and a State Highway, missing all of a couple thousand feet of US-11 in the Hamlet of Moira.

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.

Greetings from LaPlace, LA Kari and Jason hope y'all are safe during the storm.
Getting closer to Canada
At least you are trying to follow every inch of US 11 as often as possible.
Nice ride through Moira and brushton. Oh wow you heard about this tropical storm Francine
Great drive! You better be prepared for incoming TS Francine because National Weather Service has issued Tropical Storm Warning in your area. It is anticipated a landfall as Hurricane Francine.
Greetings from Australia. First I've heard of Francine. I hope you all are safe.
Nice trip! 🙂
I've been enjoying your videos. Just as an observation: I've noticed a lot of your latest videos have been under cloudy ☁️ and rainy 🌧️ conditions. Other than that, keep up the good work. 😃👍
his back road reminds me of the ones we have here in MD Nice to see a different part of NY
Understandable NY 11B was the detour. People probably didn't want 80,000 lb trucks on a one-lane bridge.
@@bullinmd I don’t think they wanted anyone on that one lane bridge!
Beautiful County Road 6
The county road wasn't too bad. The road that got us TO the county road was not meant to carry any real traffic.
Are y'all prepared for the approaching storm?
Yep. Pulled out the generator and tested it yesterday. That's about all the preparation we need. I don't expect anything other than a possible power outage.
@@504RoadTrips I'm in Memphis. The remnants are supposed to come here and give us lots of rain. We need it, we're in a drought.
@@jimmybee7966 our year long drought ended a couple of weeks ago. It’s been raining a lot lately. This storm will definitley bring you some rain.
