U.S. Route 11
Encyclopedia
U.S. Route 11 is a north–south United States highway extending 1,645 miles (2,647 km) across the eastern United States
. The southern terminus of the route is at U.S. Route 90
in the Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge
in eastern New Orleans, Louisiana
. The northern terminus is at the United States-Canada border in Rouses Point
, New York
. The route continues across the border in Canada as Quebec Route 223
. U.S. 11, created in 1926, largely follows the route of the original plan.
Until 1929, U.S. 11 ended just south of Picayune
, Mississippi
at the Pearl River
border with Louisiana
. It was extended through Louisiana after that.
The Maestri Bridge
, which carries U.S. 11 across Lake Ponchartrain, served as the only route to New Orleans from the east for six weeks after Hurricane Katrina
due to its sturdy construction. The storm virtually destroyed the Twin Span Bridge on I-10 and damaged the Fort Pike Bridge
on US 90.
Interstate 81
, constructed in the 1960s, parallels the route of U.S. 11 in many areas. Beyond I-81's southern terminus, other interstates run along corridors paralleling U.S. 11, specifically I-59
, which is joined to I-81 by I-40
, I-75
, and I-24
.
. The route passes Chevee Bayou and a short stretch of land in the community of Village de l'Est. The route makes a short curve to the northeast, and returns to the north soon after. U.S. Route 11 begins to parallel Interstate 10
and Louisiana Highway 68, until interchanging at Exit 254 in Irish Bayou. There, Route 11 passes to the east of the bayou and continues north onto a causeway over Lake Pontchartrain.
Now on the causeway, U.S. Route 11 runs west of Interstate 10 (which was built later) and makes landfall in the community of North Shore. There, U.S. Route 11 gains the name Pontchartrain Drive and enters the community of Eden Isles. In Eden Isles, Route 11 passes the Oak Harbor Golf Club and near Fritchie Park. The highway passes Palm Lake, a small local waterbed, and intersects with Louisiana Highway 433
(known locally as Old Spanish Trail). Route 11 and LA-433 become concurrent for a short distance until Front Street, where Route 11 turns to the northeast.
Route 11 continues to the northeast, away from LA-433, and into the community of Slidell
. In Slidell, the route heads along Front Street, passing to the east of commercial buildings and to the west of residences, creating an arterial in downtown Slidell. After the intersection with Erlanger Road, Route 11 intersects with U.S. Route 190
(Fremaux Avenue), which becomes concurrent along Front Street. Routes 11 and 190 continue to the north, intersecting with many locally-maintained roads in Slidell. At the intersection with Gause Boulevard and Gause Boulevard West, Route 190 turns to the west.
Route 11 continues to the northeast along Front Street, until the intersection with Indiana Avenue, where it changes onto the alignment of Highway 11. There, Route 11 leaves Slidell for the community of North Slidell, where it comes upon an interchange with Interstate 12
(the West Florida Republic Parkway) at Exit 83. After the partial-cloverleaf interchange, the highway intersects with many local roads in North Slidell and eventually into the community of Alton. North of Alton, Route 11 intersects with Highway Department Road, and eventually parallels to the west of Interstate 59
.
Route 11 continues to the northeast, intersecting with Louisiana Highway 41 (Watts Road) and locally-maintained Watts Road. This serves as the southern terminus for LA-41. Route 11 turns to the right and intersects with Louisiana Highway 41 Spur, an auxiliary route of the highway that intersected recently in the community of Pearl River
. At the intersection, Route 11 turns off of Main Street and interchanges with Interstate 59, paralleling it for a short distance to the north before becoming concurrent at the West Pearl River.
Route 11 and Interstate 59 continue to the northeast, interchanging with a former alignment of U.S. Route 11 that went to east from Interchange 5B. The highways parallel the West Pearl River and eventually, Honey Island Swamp Road. At Honey Island Swamp Road, Interstate 59 and U.S. Route 11 approach Interchange 11, the final interchange in Louisiana. At the Pearl River, the two highways cross the state line and enter Mississippi.
The highway progresses northward, along with the railroad tracks and nearby J.J. Holocomb Road. The three are connected soon after at an intersection with Section Line Road, which runs westbound from U.S. Route 11. Several miles north of the interchange from Interstate 59, I-59 begins to parallel once again to the far east. The local surroundings north of Nicholson is basically trees with short clearings. Eventually J.J. Holocomb Road ends, and the railroad tracks continue along Route 11 to the north. After a while, Route 11 intersects with South Haugh Avenue, a connector to nearby Friendship Park, a large park in the area. Route 11 continues northward, intersecting with Martin Luther King Boulevard, where the highway enters the city of Picayune
.
Route 11 heads northeastward through a more developed commercial industry. After a short distance into Picayne, Route 11 intersects with a divided highway segment of Mississippi Highway 43
. Nearby to the north, Jackson Landing Road, which intersected in the community of Nicholson, miles to the south, terminates at an intersection in Picayune. U.S. Route 11 and the railroad tracks continue to the north and intersects with West and East Canal Street in the center intersection of Picayune. After the intersection with East 4th Street, Route 11 makes a shot to the right, leaving its straight parallel with the railroad tracks. Route 11 continues northeastward, through thousands of trees in both directions.
After a while, Route 11 leaves the woodland surroundings in northern Picayune for a more residential development. After a short distance, Route 11 intersects with East Sycamore Road, an alignment of Mississippi Route 43. North of Route 43, the highway continues northward, entering the community of Richardson, north of Picayune. In Richardson, Route 11 loses the development of Picayune and enters a less developed area. In the center of Richardson, the highway intersects with Lakeshore Drive, which passes by the Millbrook Country Club. Northward, U.S. Route 11 continues through the dense woodlands to the east. At an intersection with Fred Mallet Road, Route 11 continues northward into the community of Ozona.
Like Richardson, Ozona is not highly-developed. There are some intersections with locally-maintained highways. After the intersection with Henry Murphy Road, Route 11 leaves Ozona. Route 11 continues northward, through the dense woodlands once again, paralleling an original alignment, which is signed to the east. After the intersection with Washington Street, Route 11 merges with its original alignment. After the merge, Route 11 enters the community of Carriere
. Carriere has some development, but not a lot, as Route 11 turns to the northeast and leaves Carriere. After the curve, Route 11 heads through very dense woodlands.
After the northeastern direction bends back to the north, Route 11 enters the small community of Hawthorne. The central intersection in the under-developed Hawthorne is Lawrence Kennedy Road, which heads to the west from U.S. Route 11. Route 11 leaves Hawthorne quickly and enters the community of McNeill
. There, the central intersection is with McNeill–Steep Hollow Road. In downtown McNeill intersects with a few local roads along a pair of railroad tracks. After the intersection with Sones Chapel Road, Route 11 leaves the community of McNeill.
After McNeill, Route 11 turns to the northeast once again. There is literally no residential, commercial or industrial development along this stretch of highway, and it is surrounded by trees, clearings, and fields. After the intersection with an unnamed dirt road, Route 11 enters the community of Tyler, which has no development. Route 11 and the nearby railroad tracks leave Tyler and enter Millard, where it intersects with Sones Chapel Road, but yet again, there is little to no development. After Millard, Route 11 turns to the north and intersects with Buford Lane, which produces a short amount of residential development.
This quickly reverses itself and U.S. Route 11 intersects with Mitchell Baughman Road which heads to the east. At the intersection Route 11 enters the community of Derby. At Derby–White Sand Road, Route 11 leaves the community and continues northward through some raised development. Eventually, the highway and the railroad tracks split their separate ways and Route 11 heads straight northward. Once again, this is reversed, and Route 11 turns to the northeast, paralleling the railroad tracks. The highway and railroad tracks are connected at an intersection with Cowart Holliday Road. At the intersection with Highland Drive, Route 11 enters the community of West Poplarville.
There, Route 11 turns to the northeast, intersecting with Mississippi Highway 26. After that intersection, Route 11 continues northward into Poplarville
. In Poplarville, the highway intersects with a short, original alignment of itself. At the intersection with West Woody Street, Route 11 leaves the developed community of Poplarville, and continues northward. As the highway continues northward, it begins to parallel Interstate 59 once again. At an intersection with Orvisburg Road, Route 11 enters and leaves the partially-developed community of Hillsdale.
After Hillsdale, Route 11 continues to the northeast, passing through highly dense woodlands and paralleling Wayne Pardue Road. At an intersection with Hillsdale Road and Bilbo Holston Road, there is a short clearing. Just north of that intersection, Route 11 passes a local farm. The highway begins to wind through the forestry, intersecting Si Jones Road, which parallels to the west. At a major bend to the curve along Route 11, Si Jones Road merges back into the highway. After the highway continues on a straight highway to the northeast, Si Jones Road starts suddenly to the north once again as Route 11 enters the community of Red Top. However, Red Top is not developed at all, being more of a location rather than a developed community.
Route 11 leaves Red Top and intersects with an unnamed dirt road that heads to the south. The highway continues along the bends through the dense forestry. The highway parallels Red Top Road, named after the nearby location. After a short distance, Route 11 leaves Pearl River County
for Lamar County
. After the county crossing, Red Top Road merges in, and the route begins to the north along with paralleling the nearby railroad tracks. After a short distance, Route 11 enters the city of Lumberton
.
The next intersection in Lumberton is West Eleventh Avenue, which ends at Route 11. The next is West Tenth, where the route becomes highly developed for the first time since Poplarsville. After the intersection with Hinton Avenue, Route 11 intersects with Mississippi Highway 13 (known locally as West Main Avenue). After the intersection with Route 13, the moniker of Route 11 changes to the name of North 3rd Street, following the local street system. After the intersection with Myrick Avenue, Route 11 becomes less developed and after the intersection with Seventh Avenue, Route 11 returns to the dense forestry it had left. After King Avenue, Route 11 leaves the city and returns to the rural surroundings.
The dense forestry continues to the north with Route 11, intersects with Platonia Road, and passes to the southeast of a large industrial development for the company Hess
. After the development, Route 11 crosses the railroad tracks it had been previously paralleling. The highway continues to the northeast, passing through the dense forestry, and entering the local community of Seneca. There, the highway crosses over a waterbed and continues its way northward into a developed community. The central intersection in Seneca is with East and West Seneca Road, for which the latter reaches the railroad tracks that began paralleling Route 11 once again.
After the intersection with Yellow Pine Circle, where Route 11 continues through the dense forestry. Soon after, Route 11 passes a small development and intersects with a few minor local roads. Route 11 makes a bend to the northeast, with the original right-of-way heading along Talowah Cutoff Road, which parallels the main highway. Route 11 continues through the dense forestry, which becomes more and more dense after the highway continues. After the intersection with a dirt road, Route 11 intersects and merges with Yawn School Road. There, the highway continues to the northeast, entering the community of Talowah. There, Talowah Cutoff Road returns and terminates in the center of the community. At that intersection, there is a small industrial development.
Route 11 continues to the north through the dense forestry for several miles, until the western side begins to clear. There, Route 11 parallels a pond and heads into a more developed community. The highway intersects with Faculty Lane and Marantha Circle, both of which head to a residential development. Faculty Lane continues to parallel to the west, and after a short distance, Route 11 continues northward, intersecting with Beaver Dam Road and Oscar Bond Road in the middle of the community. Eventually, Route 11 begins to parallel a former alignment of itself. After the intersection with Aw Swan Road, Route 11 leaves the less developed area for the city of Purvis, Mississippi
.
Paralleling the original alignment, the two roads eventually intersect and trade directions. The two roads still parallel and they begin to enter the highly developed area in Purvis. After the intersection with Lynn Street, Route 11 passes to the east of a large school development and eventually, intersects with Shelby Speights Dr. And eventually intersects again at Mississippi Highway 589, which becomes concurrent. The two routes head to the northeast for a short distance, until a large interchange, where Route 589 turns to the east along Alabama Avenue.
After Logaras Avenue, Route 11 heads northward and out of Purvis. The dense forestry returns once an intersection passes with Lakeview Circle. Then, an intersection with Bill Andrews Road and Sherlock Herring Road comes along at a nearby clearing. The clearing remains to the east, while the forestry remains to the west. On the other side of the forestry is Old Richburg Road, which parallels Route 11. After the forestry clears, Old Richburg Road returns and terminates at the main highway. Near a Hess development, Route 11 intersects with a road known locally as Old Abandoned Road.
At Hess Drive, Route 11 turns to the northeast once again. After an intersection with Harold Tucker Road, the highway continues into the dense forestry, but as a wider highway. The wideness of the highway reverses itself, and Route 11 intersects with East Hill Road. After an intersection with Okahola School Road, Route 11 continues to the north along a large clearing outside of the woodlands. The highway's surroundings become more developed, and Route 11 parallels Tatum Camp Road. To the east, Route 11 returns to the dense forestry, and to the east, the change occurs a few hundred feet later.
There is an intersection with R.D. Hartfield Road, Route 11 continues entirely in the deep forestry. However, there is a change to the east when the forestry breaks. Route 11 enters the community of Richburg before crossing the county line and into Forrest County
.
. After the interchange, Route 11 passes the Timberton Golf Club, which is followed by an intersection with Timberton Drive.
After the golf club, Route 11 continues to the northeast, and intersects with a dirt road, which sends the driver to a large local industrial development. At the intersection with South Twenty-Eighth Avenue and West S.F. Tatum Drive, Route 11 enters the community of Bonhome, Mississippi. At an intersection with Richburg Road, Route 11 leaves Bonhome, and enters the large city of Hattiesburg
.
In Hattiesburg, Route 11 makes a curve to the north and changes monikers to Broadway. After an intersection with Lincoln Road, Route 11 becomes a divided highway and reaches an interchange with U.S. Route 49
at a complete cloverleaf interchange. After the interchange ends, Route 11 continues to the north, and after the intersection with 64th Street, Route 11 enters a highly developed area of the city with commercial buildings surrounding the highway. In the city, Route 11 parallels some nearby railroad tracks and divides onto West Pine Street and West Front Street. Along the West Front Street alignment, it passes a local railroad yard.
At an intersection with Bouie Street, Route 11 comes back together and turns to the northwest on Bouie Street. Route 11 continues to the north and intersects with Mississippi Highway 42, which becomes concurrent. Routes 11 and 42 continues to the northeast along North Main Street in Hattiesburg. After returning to another highly developed urban part of Hattiesburg, Routes 11 and 42 fork, with 11 heading to the north and 42 heading to the east. Eventually, Route 11 enters Petal
, paralleling the nearby railroad tracks and North Railroad Avenue. After the intersection with Waverly Street, a dead-end, Route 11 becomes less developed, and leaves Petal.
Route 11 continues northward, crossing under an overpass, and intersecting with Chapell Hill Road, which also connects to the railroad tracks. Not far after, Route 11 comes to the community of Dragon, where it becomes more developed in residential and industrial community. The route leaves Dragon and begins a slight curve to the northwest, still paralleling the railroad tracks. After intersecting with a small connector street, Route 11 begins to parallel Leeville Road and continues northward. Along the way there are some residential homes, but it is mainly fields. At an intersection with Eastabutchie Road, Route 11 crosses the county line and into Jones County
.

, with US 80 following an eastward track toward Demopolis
. US 11, in contrast, continues to parallel the I-20/I-59 freeway through Livingston
to Eutaw
, where US 11 joins U.S. Route 43
. The overlapping routes proceed northeast to Tuscaloosa
, where US 43 splits from US 11 and heads north. US 11, however, continues along the I-20/I-59 corridor to Birmingham
. US 11 overlaps I-20/59 for approximately 12 miles (19.3 km) between Woodstock and Bessemer. From Bessemer into Birmingham, the route is locally known as the "Bessemer Superhighway." US 11 is co-signed with Alabama state route 5 between Woodstock and Birmingham. US 11 thru the western side of Birmingham is known as the Bessemer Superhighway and 3rd Avenue West. It passes near the Alabama State Fairgrounds, Rickwood Field (one of the oldest baseball stadiums in America) and Legion Field (known for hosting football games). On the east side of Birmingham, US 11 is known locally as 1st Avenue North and as Roebuck Parkway.
West of downtown Birmingham, US 11 intersects U.S. Route 78
. US 78 turns east onto US 11, forming an overlap as the roadway enters the heart of the city. In the midst of the city center, US 78 breaks from US 11, progressing south of US 11 as the two routes exit the city. East of downtown, I-20 splits from I-59, with US 11 following I-59 to the northeast. US 11 passes through Gadsden
and Fort Payne
before crossing into Georgia

Throughout Alabama, U.S. 11 is paired with unsigned Alabama State Route 7.
, U.S. Route 11 and State Route 58 travel northeast, parallel
to Interstate 59
, through the valley between Sand Mountain
and Lookout Mountain
. The route passes through the county seat of Dade County, Trenton
, where it is briefly cosigned
with State Route 136. In the community of Wildwood
, U.S. Route 11 and State Route 58 serve as the eastern terminus of State Route 299 before continuing north into Tennessee
.
U.S. Route 11 sees an Average Annual Daily Traffic of 5,000 vehicles or more north of Trenton. However, most of the route's through traffic has been diverted to Interstate 59, which closely parallels the route not only in Georgia, but also in Alabama and Mississippi
.
west of Chattanooga
. The route, concurrent with State Route 38 from the state line north, runs parallel to Interstate 24
for three miles (5 km) to an intersection with Cummings Highway (U.S. Route 41
/U.S. Route 64
/U.S. Route 72
/State Route 2). While SR 38 terminates here, US 11 follows the highway east into downtown Chattanooga. At the intersection of Broad Street and East 23rd Street, US 11 and US 64 separate from US 41 and US 72 and follow East 23rd east through downtown. The routes briefly overlap with US 41 (here concurrent to U.S. Route 76
) on Dodds Avenue before resuming an easterly progression on Brainerd Road.
East of downtown, I-24 terminates while Interstate 75
continues east along the I-24 right-of-way
. US 11 and US 64 continue to the northeast, paralleling I-75 to Cleveland
. In downtown Cleveland, US 64 separates from US 11, following U.S. Route 74
east out of the city.
US 11 remains close to I-75 as it heads north, passing through Athens
, Sweetwater
, Loudon
, and Lenoir City
before entering Farragut
. On the western edge of town, US 11 merges with U.S. Route 70
at Dixie Lee Junction
to form Kingston Pike. The routes remain joined for just over 20 miles (32.2 km) as they pass through Farragut and West Knoxville before diverging again in downtown Knoxville.
In eastern Knoxville, US 11 splits into U.S. Route 11W
and U.S. Route 11E
, with US 70 following US 11E. Both routes follow a northeasterly routing through northeastern Tennessee, with US 11W taking a more northerly course than its eastern alternate. While US 11W passes through Blaine

, Wytheville
and Radford
. In this area, Interstate 81
was constructed parallel to US 11.
At Christiansburg
, US 11 joins U.S. Route 460
and the two routes overlap for 28 miles (45.1 km) to Salem
, where the two highways split. US 11 winds through Roanoke
on several roads, sometimes opposite the signed direction.
From Roanoke, the highway continues through Buchanan
, Lexington
, Staunton
, Harrisonburg
and Winchester
in the Shenandoah Valley. Interstate 81 was constructed parallel to US 11 through many of these cities, although it generally bypassed the smaller towns. US 11 enters West Virginia
about 10 miles (16.1 km) northeast of Winchester.
less than 200 yards (182.9 m) southeast of I-81. As the Winchester Pike, US 11 heads northeast for about 35 miles (56.3 km) through Berkeley County
, passing through Inwood
, Martinsburg
, and Falling Waters
before crossing the Potomac River
into Maryland
.
in Washington County
before crossing the Mason-Dixon Line

south of Greencastle
. Known as the Molly Pitcher
highway, US 11 follows I-81 northeast through the Cumberland Valley, running parallel to each other as they pass through Chambersburg
, Shippensburg
, and Carlisle
. Northeast of Carlisle in Middlesex
, US 11 interchanges with the Pennsylvania Turnpike
(Interstate 76
) and I-81 in succession. US 11, now to the south of I-81, continues eastward into the western suburb
s of Harrisburg
as the Carlisle Pike.
In Camp Hill
, a close suburb of Harrisburg, US 11 stops paralleling I-81 and joins U.S. Route 15
northward through the western suburbs of Harrisburg. As the road exits the Harrisburg area, US 11 and US 15 begin to parallel the Susquehanna River
as both head northward. The two routes remain overlapped to an intersection in Shamokin Dam
, where US 15 branches off to the northwest, following the path of the Susquehanna's West Branch
northward. US 11, in contrast, continues to parallel the main Susquehanna River, passing through municipalities such as Danville
, Bloomsburg
, and Berwick
prior to reaching Wilkes-Barre
.
In Wilkes-Barre, US 11 breaks from the Susquehanna and begins to run parallel to I-81 once more. From Wilkes-Barre, the highway goes through nearby Scranton

U.S. Route 11 and the railroad tracks continue to the north and intersects with West and East Canal Street in the center intersection of Picayune. After the intersection with East 4th Street, Route 11 makes a shot to the right, leaving its straight parallel with the railroad tracks. Route 11 continues northeastward, through thousands of trees in both directions.
After a while, Route 11 leaves the woodland surroundings in northern Picayune for a more residential development. After a short distance, Route 11 intersects with East Sycamore Road, an alignment of Mississippi Route 43. North of Route 43, the highway continues northward, entering the community of Richardson, north of Picayune. In Richardson, Route 11 loses the development of Picayune and enters a less developed area. In the center of Richardson, the highway intersects with Lakeshore Drive, which passes by the Millbrook Country Club. Northward, U.S. Route 11 continues through the dense woodlands to the east. At an intersection with Fred Mallet Road, Route 11 continues northward into the community of Ozona.
Like Richardson, Ozona is not highly-developed. There are some intersections with locally-maintained highways. After the intersection with Henry Murphy Road, Route 11 leaves Ozona. Route 11 continues northward, through the dense woodlands once again, paralleling an original alignment, which is signed to the east. After the intersection with Washington Street, Route 11 merges with its original alignment. After the merge, Route 11 enters the community of Carriere
Carriere, Mississippi

. There, the central intersection is with McNeill–Steep Hollow Road. In downtown McNeill intersects with a few local roads along a pair of railroad tracks. After the intersection with Sones Chapel Road, Route 11 leaves the community of McNeill.
After McNeill, Route 11 turns to the northeast once again. There is literally no residential, commercial or industrial development along this stretch of highway, and it is surrounded by trees, clearings, and fields. After the intersection with an unnamed dirt road, Route 11 enters the community of Tyler, which has no development. Route 11 and the nearby railroad tracks leave Tyler and enter Millard, where it intersects with Sones Chapel Road, but yet again, there is little to no development. After Millard, Route 11 turns to the north and intersects with Buford Lane, which produces a short amount of residential development.
This quickly reverses itself and U.S. Route 11 intersects with Mitchell Baughman Road which heads to the east. At the intersection Route 11 enters the community of Derby. At Derby–White Sand Road, Route 11 leaves the community and continues northward through some raised development. Eventually, the highway and the railroad tracks split their separate ways and Route 11 heads straight northward. Once again, this is reversed, and Route 11 turns to the northeast, paralleling the railroad tracks. The highway and railroad tracks are connected at an intersection with Cowart Holliday Road. At the intersection with Highland Drive, Route 11 enters the community of West Poplarville.
There, Route 11 turns to the northeast, intersecting with Mississippi Highway 26. After that intersection, Route 11 continues northward into Poplarville

. In Poplarville, the highway intersects with a short, original alignment of itself. At the intersection with West Woody Street, Route 11 leaves the developed community of Poplarville, and continues northward. As the highway continues northward, it begins to parallel Interstate 59 once again. At an intersection with Orvisburg Road, Route 11 enters and leaves the partially-developed community of Hillsdale.
After Hillsdale, Route 11 continues to the northeast, passing through highly dense woodlands and paralleling Wayne Pardue Road. At an intersection with Hillsdale Road and Bilbo Holston Road, there is a short clearing. Just north of that intersection, Route 11 passes a local farm. The highway begins to wind through the forestry, intersecting Si Jones Road, which parallels to the west. At a major bend to the curve along Route 11, Si Jones Road merges back into the highway. After the highway continues on a straight highway to the northeast, Si Jones Road starts suddenly to the north once again as Route 11 enters the community of Red Top. However, Red Top is not developed at all, being more of a location rather than a developed community.
Route 11 leaves Red Top and intersects with an unnamed dirt road that heads to the south. The highway continues along the bends through the dense forestry. The highway parallels Red Top Road, named after the nearby location. After a short distance, Route 11 leaves Pearl River County

Route 11 enters the city of Lumberton once crossing the county line. There, the dense forestry and lack of development ends, and the highway begins to parallel some industrial development in the southern part of the city. The route intersects with Industrial Parkway, which intersects with nearby Lake Hillsdale Road. The highway progresses northward, intersecting and becoming the eastern terminus of Bass Lane. Route 11 then gains the moniker locally as Heber Ladner Drive, where the route enters residential developments.The next intersection in Lumberton is West Eleventh Avenue, which ends at Route 11. The next is West Tenth, where the route becomes highly developed for the first time since Poplarsville. After the intersection with Hinton Avenue, Route 11 intersects with Mississippi Highway 13 (known locally as West Main Avenue). After the intersection with Route 13, the moniker of Route 11 changes to the name of North 3rd Street, following the local street system.

. After the development, Route 11 crosses the railroad tracks it had been previously paralleling. The highway continues to the northeast, passing through the dense forestry, and entering the local community of Seneca. There, the highway crosses over a waterbed and continues its way northward into a developed community. The central intersection in Seneca is with East and West Seneca Road, for which the latter reaches the railroad tracks that began paralleling Route 11 once again.
After the intersection with Yellow Pine Circle, where Route 11 continues through the dense forestry. Soon after, Route 11 passes a small development and intersects with a few minor local roads. Route 11 makes a bend to the northeast, with the original right-of-way heading along Talowah Cutoff Road, which parallels the main highway. Route 11 continues through the dense forestry, which becomes more and more dense after the highway continues. After the intersection with a dirt road, Route 11 intersects and merges with Yawn School Road. There, the highway continues to the northeast, entering the community of Talowah. There, Talowah Cutoff Road returns and terminates in the center of the community. At that intersection, there is a small industrial development.
Route 11 continues to the north through the dense forestry for several miles, until the western side begins to clear. There, Route 11 parallels a pond and heads into a more developed community. The highway intersects with Faculty Lane and Marantha Circle, both of which head to a residential development. Faculty Lane continues to parallel to the west, and after a short distance, Route 11 continues northward, intersecting with Beaver Dam Road and Oscar Bond Road in the middle of the community.

After the intersection with Lynn Street, Route 11 passes to the east of a large school development and eventually, intersects with Shelby Speights Dr. And eventually intersects again at Mississippi Highway 589, which becomes concurrent. The two routes head to the northeast for a short distance, until a large interchange, where Route 589 turns to the east along Alabama Avenue.
After Logaras Avenue, Route 11 heads northward and out of Purvis. The dense forestry returns once an intersection passes with Lakeview Circle. Then, an intersection with Bill Andrews Road and Sherlock Herring Road comes along at a nearby clearing. The clearing remains to the east, while the forestry remains to the west. On the other side of the forestry is Old Richburg Road, which parallels Route 11. After the forestry clears, Old Richburg Road returns and terminates at the main highway. Near a Hess development, Route 11 intersects with a road known locally as Old Abandoned Road.
At Hess Drive, Route 11 turns to the northeast once again. After an intersection with Harold Tucker Road, the highway continues into the dense forestry, but as a wider highway. The wideness of the highway reverses itself, and Route 11 intersects with East Hill Road. After an intersection with Okahola School Road, Route 11 continues to the north along a large clearing outside of the woodlands. The highway's surroundings become more developed, and Route 11 parallels Tatum Camp Road. To the east, Route 11 returns to the dense forestry, and to the east, the change occurs a few hundred feet later.
