U.S. Route 11 (US 11) in the U.S. state of Tennessee travels from the Georgia state line in Chattanooga to Knoxville, where it then splits into US 11E and US 11W. These two highways then travel to the Virginia state line near Kingsport and Bristol. During its length, it shares concurrencies with State Route 2 (SR 2) and SR 38.

Route description

US 11 along Lee Highway, south of Lenoir City

US 11 enters Tennessee west of Chattanooga. The route, concurrent with SR 38 from the state line north, runs parallel to Interstate 24 (I-24) for three miles (4.8 km) to an intersection with Cummings Highway ( US 41/ US 64/ US 72/ SR 2). While SR 38 terminates here, US 11 follows the highway east into downtown Chattanooga. At the intersection of Broad and West 20th streets, US 11 and US 64 separate from US 41 and US 72 and follow East 20th Street, which then curves to become East 23rd Street, east through downtown. The routes briefly overlap with US 41, here concurrent to US 76, on Dodds Avenue before resuming an easterly progression on Brainerd Road thereafter called Lee Highway. [2]

East of downtown, I-24 terminates while I-75 continues east along the I-24 right-of-way. US 11 and US 64 continue to the northeast, through northern Chattanooga, and run concurrent with I-75 between exits 7 and 11. SR 317 runs concurrent with I-75 between exits 7 and 9. At exit 11, the route splits, running through Ooltewah and Collegedale before entering Bradley County. The route travels north to Cleveland and comes to an interchange with APD-40 (US 64 Bypass/ US 74/SR 311). In downtown Cleveland, US 64 separates from US 11, following SR 40 east out of the city. [2]

US 11 parallels I-75 as it heads north, passing through Athens, where it intersects with SR 30; Sweetwater, where it intersects SR 68; Loudon, where it intersects SR 72; and Lenoir City, where it intersects with US 321/ SR 95. The route then forms a concurrency with US 70 ( Kingston Pike) at Dixie Lee Junction and enters Knox County passing first through Farragut and then entering West Knoxville. The route comes to an intersection with SR 131 and then I-140 (Pellissippi Parkway). In Downtown Knoxville, the routes intersect with US 129. US 11 and US 70 split east of Knoxville, and split into US 11E and US 11W. US 11W goes through Rutledge, Bean Station, Rogersville, and Kingsport. US 11E goes through Jefferson City, Morristown, Russellville, Greeneville, Jonesborough, Johnson City, where the route forms a concurrency with US 19, and Bristol, before crossing into Virginia. [2]
