U.S. Route 11(US 11) is a part of theUnited States Numbered Highway Systemthat runs fromNew Orleans, Louisiana,to theCanada–United States borderatRouses Point, New York.In the state ofNew York,US 11 extends for 318.66 miles (512.83 km) from thePennsylvania state linesouth of theSouthern Tiercity ofBinghamtonto the Canada–United States border at theNorth Countryvillage ofRouses Point,where it becomesRoute 223upon enteringQuebec.The portion of US 11 south ofWatertownfollows a mostly north–south alignment and is paralleled byInterstate 81(I-81) while the part of the route north of Watertown follows a more east–west routing, parallel to but not directly on theSt. Lawrence River.

The portion of US 11 in New York passes through the central district of four cities: Binghamton,Cortland,Syracuse,and Watertown. East of Watertown, the route traverses mostly rural terrain and serves only small villages, such asPotsdam,Malone,andChamplain.While the portion of US 11 between the Pennsylvania state line and Watertown is merely an alternate route to I-81, the section east of Watertown is the primary long-distance route across theNorth Countryof New York.

US 11 was designated as part of the 1926 establishment of the U.S. Numbered Highway System. It was first signed in New York in 1927, replacingNew York State Route 2(NY 2), a route assigned three years earlier as part of the creation of the modern New York state route system. The termini of US 11 have more or less remained the same since; however, multiple realignments have occurred along the points in between. One of US 11's three suffixed routes,NY 11C,follows a former routing of US 11.

Route description[edit]

South of Syracuse[edit]

US 11 proceeds northwestward throughNew Yorkfrom the Pennsylvania border towardBinghamtonalong the eastern bank of theSusquehanna River.In the town ofKirkwood,it has agrade-separatedinterchange withCounty Route 177(CR 177) between theConklin–Kirkwood Bridgeand CR 177's interchange with I-81, the Interstate's first exit in New York. Most of this stretch is an undivided highway; however, there is a brief divided four-lane section where the highway has apartial Y interchangewithNY 990G,a connector to exit 2 on I-81 as well asNY 17(FutureI-86). This connector is part of the former routing of NY 17.[3]

US 11 remains four lanes, now undivided, as it enters the city of Binghamton, serving as the main thoroughfare of theEast Sideneighborhood. This section is also known as Court Street. The highway then turns southwest, crossing railroad tracks and heading toward downtown. Here, it has an intersection withNY 7just north of the Tompkins Street Bridge and afolded diamond interchangewithNY 363.In the center of downtown, US 11 goes through aroundaboutand passesBroome County Courthouse.It then has a junction withNY 434,which terminates at the highway from the south, before crossing theCourt Street Bridge,after which it intersectsNY 17Cand turns north to follow Front Street along theChenango River.It passesBinghamton High Schooland goes through a portion of theWest Sideneighborhood. Later, the highway again interchanges with I-81 (and NY 17) at Interstate exit 5.

US 11 and I-81 continue to parallel each other as they head north from Binghamton towardCortland,passing through the hamlets andvillagesof Hinmans Corners, Glen Castle,Castle Creek,andWhitney Point.Beyond Whitney Point, both I-81 and US 11 begin to follow theTioughnioga Riverin a north-northeasterly direction, with US 11 passing through four further settlements along the river (Lisle,Marathon,Messengerville,andBlodgett Mills). Before reaching Cortland, the highway has a direct interchange with I-81 at exit 10 followed immediately by a junction withNY 41,which joins US 11 as the road enters Cortland.

US 11 joins NY 13 and NY 41 as it passes through downtown Cortland.

The southernmost portion of US 11 in Cortland is known as Port Watson Street, but it then turns several times onto other streets (Church Street, where it has a brief concurrency withNY 13,and then Clinton Avenue and North Main Street). In downtown Cortland, US 11 passes numerous Cortland County and city offices. It exits downtown via North Main into a primarily residential area, passing theGuthrie Cortland Medical Center.US 11 continues out of the city toward the village ofHomer.Another reference route,NY 930Q,connects US 11 and NY 41 to exit 12 of I-81 by two loop ramps. From here, the highway enters Homer, where it is known as Main Street. It has a junction withNY 90at Cayuga Street, serving as that road's southern terminus. NY 41 then diverges to the northwest at Clinton Street.

US 11 crosses to the east side of I-81 as it leaves the village, passing through a rural area toward the hamlet ofTully Center.In this hamlet, US 11 briefly turns west along a concurrency withNY 80,during which it passesTully Junior Senior High School.Just before reaching I-81, US 11 turns north again, diverging from NY 80 and running adjacent to the Interstate. Just west of here is the southern terminus ofNY 11A,analternate routefor US 11 that runs east of I-81. About seven miles (11 km) north of Tully, the highway reaches its junction withUS 20in the hamlet ofLaFayetteinthe town of the same name.The northbound side of I-81 exit 15 connects to US 11, with the southbound side connecting to US 20. The highway continues through a rural residential area north of the hamlet. It then begins to closely front I-81 before passing under it at exit 16, after which US 11 briefly becomes divided as it traversesOnondaga Reservation.It then entersNedrow,which marks the beginning of the southernsuburbsof Syracuse in the town ofOnondaga,where NY 11A again meets US 11 at the former's northern terminus.

The highway follows Salina Street through most of Syracuse and its southern suburbs, passing through residential areas with occasional commercial stretches until reaching downtown. US 11 is parallel toOnondaga Creekfor most of its length in Syracuse. It intersectsNY 173in theNorth Valleyneighborhood, then passes throughBrighton,where the surroundings remain largely residential with some businesses and churches. InSouthwest,US 11 shifts east at Raynor Avenue to follow State Street. As it enters the southern reaches ofdowntown,theOncentercomplex is a prominent feature on the west side of the highway, with theEverson Museum of Arton the east side.NY 92terminates from the east as East Genesee Street. Erie Boulevard (NY 5) intersects the highway three blocks beyond here, followed by the western terminus ofNY 290after US 11 crosses under I-81 andI-690.After passing St. Joseph's Hospital inNear Northeast,US 11 switches back to follow Salina Street through the southern part ofWashington Square,where it has a junction withNY 298(Court Street). The route then turns north-northeastward on Wolf Street, which it follows through the remainder of Washington Square and into the northern suburbs of Syracuse.

Syracuse to Watertown[edit]

As it enters the hamlet ofMattydale,US 11 crosses under theNew York State Thruway(I-90) and its name changes from Wolf Street to Brewerton Road. It is a six-lane divided highway on its entire length through Mattydale. As it passes through a commercial area west ofSyracuse Hancock International Airport,the road becomes two lanes (later four) with a center turn lane. South Bay Road runs closely parallel to US 11 in this stretch. InNorth Syracuse,the road reverts to two lanes but becomes four lanes again north of this village, where it crosses underNY 481and passes through another major commercial area.

Continuing north, US 11 intersectsNY 31in the hamlet ofCicero.It passes throughBrewerton,then crosses theOneida RiverintoOswego Countyand passesFort Brewerton.The next two miles (3.2 km) of US 11 run through a light-industrial area on its way toCentral Square,where it intersectsNY 49.North of here, the highway reaches the hamlet ofHastingsand laterColosse,where it intersectsNY 69,andMaple View,where it intersectsNY 104.InPulaski,it runs on Salina and Jefferson streets and crosses theSalmon River.After passing through the village ofSandy Creek,the road crosses under I-81 at the exit 38 interchange. It passes throughMannsvilleand then intersectsNY 193(which terminates at US 11 from the west) atPierrepont Manor Complex.US 11 continues through a rural area to the village ofAdams,whereNY 178also terminates from the west.NY 177terminates in the same manner in the next hamlet,Adams Center.It has a modifiedfull Y interchangewith Kellogg Road, which connects to I-81's exit 43, the last exit accessible directly from US 11 (since it separates from the Interstate just north of Watertown).

Just south of Watertown,NY 232joins US 11 (and terminates) from the southwest. As it enters Watertown, US 11 curves from a northeast–southwest to north–south alignment and follows Washington Street. The route later turns onto Paddock, Holcomb, Massey, and Leray streets and crosses theBlack Rivervia the Court Street Bridge (unrelated to the bridge of the same name that carries US 11 in Binghamton). The highway intersectsNY 3andNY 12at Arsenal Street. Along Massey Street, it has a concurrency with NY 12 between Arsenal and Main streets and intersectsNY 12Fat Coffeen Street, which terminates from the west. North of the city, it also has a junction withNY 37which is that road's western terminus (though it approaches from the west).

North Country[edit]

US 11 heads northeast from Watertown, passing north of theAdirondack Parkand serving several communities—such as the villages ofCanton,Malone,andPotsdam—built up along its northern edge. Although the road never crosses theBlue Linedelimiting the Adirondack Park, it passes through mostly rural, undeveloped areas nonetheless.

After US 11 passes throughCalcium,it parallels the western boundary ofFort Drum,whose main gate is just east of the highway's junction withI-781.Past Fort Drum, the route follows a northeasterly routing across northernJefferson Countyand southwesternSt. Lawrence County,serving the villages ofEvans Mills,Philadelphia,Antwerp,Gouverneur,andRichvilleandoverlappingwithNY 26between Evans Mills and Philadelphia and withNY 812for several miles north from Gouverneur. US 11 eventually reaches the village of Canton, where it follows Gouverneur and Main streets and intersectsNY 68andNY 310.

At the next village, Potsdam, the highway becomes four lanes and runs along the northern edge ofClarkson University's campus as Maple Street before crossing theRaquette Rivervia a divided alignment known as Sandstone Drive, where it intersects the southern terminus ofNY 345and is paralleled by a railroad bridge. (The former alignment of US 11, the eastern portion of Maple Street, follows a concrete arch bridge over the river south of the current crossing. It is assigned as reference routeNY 971U.[4]) After US 11 intersectsNY 345andNY 56,NY 11Bbreaks from US 11, serving as a southerly alternate route to the U.S. Highway. NY 11B heads due east from Potsdam on Elm Street while US 11 exits to the northeast via Lawrence Avenue. About 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Potsdam, US 11 intersects the west end ofNY 11C,the northernmost of its three alternate routes in New York. While NY 11C heads to the northeast to reach the hamlets ofBrasher FallsandWinthrop,US 11 turns to the east, bypassing both locations to the south. It also intersects the southern terminus ofNY 420and passes through numerous small hamlets such as Sandfordville, Stockholm Center, and Lawrenceville in the towns ofStockholmandLawrence.NY 11C rejoins US 11 eight miles (13 km) later just west of Lawrenceville.

The highway soon entersFranklin County,where it intersectsNY 95in the hamlet ofMoiraand continues to the village ofBrushton,where its alignment is known as Washington Street. It crosses the Little Salmon River in this village. After passing through another hamlet known as North Bangor, US 11 reaches the village ofMalone,where it follows Main Street, divided into East and West Main streets by the Salmon River (unrelated to the other Salmon River to the south). Here, NY 11B rejoins as the highway intersectsNY 30andNY 37.It is briefly concurrent with NY 30 as it crosses the river.

East of Malone, US 11 takes on a more northerly heading for roughly 15 miles (24 km), passing throughChateaugayand intersectingNY 374in the community's center. Eventually, it curves back to the southeast, servingEllenburgandNY 190before resuming a northeasterly alignment that takes the route throughMooersand into the village ofChamplain.In the latter, US 11 connects toI-87at exit 42 and meetsUS 9at a junction a half-mile (0.80 km) to the east of I-87. The route continues on, following a mostly linear east–west alignment across the town ofChamplainfor four miles (6.4 km) to the shores ofLake Champlainand the village ofRouses Point.Along the way, US 11 connects to the west end ofNY 276.

Northern terminus

In Rouses Point, US 11 becomes known as Champlain Street as it heads toward the lake shore. At the shoreline, Champlain Street ends as US 11 intersectsNY 9B(Lake Street). US 11 turns north onto Lake Street at the junction, following the routing established by NY 9B to the south into the heart of Rouses Point. Here, US 11 reconnects to NY 276, which enters from the west on Pratt Street. North of the village center, US 11 intersects the western terminus of the eastern segment ofUS 2.After another three-quarters of a mile (1.21 km), US 11 terminates at the Canada–United States border, through theRouses Point–Lacolle 223 Border Crossing.Route 223continues north from here toSorel-TracyinQuebec.

History[edit]

Origins[edit]

BetweenSyracuseandBinghamton,the road was known as the Salina and Chenango Point Turnpike. The company that built the road was incorporated in 1807. The road opened trade between Binghamton and the salt harvesting operations below Onondaga lake.[5]

Most of the modern US 11 corridor betweenCortlandandRouses Pointwas assigned an unsignedlegislative routedesignation when theNew York State Legislaturecreated a statewide legislative route system in 1908. From Cortland north to Syracuse, what is now US 11 was part of Route 10, which continued southeast from Cortland toAfton.Between Syracuse andColosse,it was designated as Route 33. At Colosse, Route 28 joined current US 11 and followed it toMaple View,where it ended at Route 30 (nowNY 104). Route 30 joined modern US 11 here and generally followed it throughWatertownto Rouses Point. The most significant deviation from what is now US 11 was betweenPotsdamandLawrenceville,where Route 30 used modernNY 11BandCR 54andCR 55(both formerlyNY 195) instead.[6][7]

Other, shorter sections of US 11 were included as part of legislative routes that mostly followed another corridor across the state. From Binghamton east to Kirkwood Center, modern US 11 was part of Route 4, an east–west route that extended across theSouthern Tierand theCatskill MountainsfromLake Erieto theHudson River.The segment of current US 11 from Binghamton north to Hinmans Corners was the southernmost portion of Route 8, which went northeast to theUticaarea on modernNY 12andNY 12B.[6][7]In 1911, much of current US 11 between Cortland andWhitney Pointwas designated as part of Route 4-a, a new route that extended southeast toChenango Forksand south from there to Binghamton.[7]On March 1, 1921, the portion of Route 4-a northwest of Chenango Forks became part of Route 10, which now split into east and west branches east of Cortland as a result.[8]

Designation and realignments[edit]

In 1924, the state ofNew Yorkcreated the modern New York state route system by assigning designations to several long-distance highways. One route assigned at this time was NY 2, which extended from thePennsylvania state linesouth ofBinghamtonto the Canada–United States border atRouses Pointby way ofSyracuseandWatertown.[9]When the Joint Board on Interstate Highways laid out the initial plans for theU.S. Numbered Highway Systemin October 1925, NY 2 was included as part of US 11, a route beginning inNew Orleans, Louisiana,and ending at Rouses Point.[10]The alignment of US 11 within New York was virtually unchanged in the final system alignment approved on November 11, 1926.[2]The US 11 designation was first signed in 1927, supplanting NY 2.[11]

Since 1927, the terminuses of US 11 have more or less remained the same. However, multiple realignments have occurred over the years along the points in between. InDe Kalb,US 11 originally followed Old Northerner Road, modernNY 812,andCR 17.[12]It was moved onto its current alignment in the areac. 1936.[13][14]In the vicinity ofChamplain,US 11 initially entered the village on Perry Mills Road and followed Main and Elm streets through the village.[12]US 11 was realignedc. 1962to follow a direct east–west highway between thehamletof Twin Bridges (the modern junction of US 11 and Perry Mills Road) and the village of Champlain. Within Champlain, US 11 was routed on South, Main, and Elm streets.[15][16]The highway was realigned again in the early 1970s to follow a new highway to the south of Champlain, bypassing the village completely.[17][18]

In northeasternSt. Lawrence County,US 11 originally served the neighboring hamlets ofBrasher FallsandWinthrop.The route left its modern alignment inStockholm(at Stockholm Center) and rejoined it inLawrence(at Coteys Corner).[12]On September 1, 1982, ownership and maintenance of CR 110, a county road extending from Stockholm Center to Coteys Corner on a direct east–west routing, was transferred from St. Lawrence County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government and the village ofCanton.[19][20][21]The new state highway was initially designated asNY 11C.[22]On June 13, 1992, the alignments of US 11 and NY 11C between Stockholm Center and Coteys Corner were swapped, placing both routes on their modern alignments.[23][24]

Future[edit]

Plans for the Rooftop Highway, a proposedlimited-access highwaythat would extend for 175 miles (282 km) fromWatertowntoChamplain,first surfaced in the 1950s. If built, the highway would likely follow the US 11 corridor across the northern part ofNorth Country,connectingI-81toI-87.The project is expected to create more than 27,000 jobs throughout the North Country and is expected to take as many as 15 years to complete.[citation needed]

A study called theNorth Country Transportation Study Action Plan and Final Technical Reportsuggests that the road would likely be built toInterstate Highway standardsin order to improve constrained transit systems due to a lack ofinfrastructurethroughout the area. Backers of the project have called for the highway to be designated as I-98;[25]however, this designation has not been recognized by any government agencies, such as theNew York State Department of Transportationor theAmerican Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials(AASHTO). The number does fit into AASHTO's numbering system, though, as the highest even numbers are designated for highways running along the Canada–United States border, such as the proposed highway.

The Northern Corridor Transportation Group (NCTG) was formed in December 2008 as a means of refocusing the 50-year discussion on the project. Since that time, more than 100 municipal and civic resolutions from the five northern counties of New York have been passed in support of the construction of the project. On July 16, 2009, the NCTG submitted a request to U.S. SenatorKirsten Gillibrandto direct $800 million (equivalent to $1.1 billion in 2023[26]) toward the project as part of the reauthorization of a federal highway transportation bill. In a historic move, the six northern legislators representing the North Country in theNew York State Legislature(SenatorsDarrel Aubertine,Joseph Griffo,andBetty Littleand Assembly MembersDede Scozzafava,Addie Jenne,andJanet Duprey) signed an official letter of request to the same end.

Despite enthusiasm from North Country leaders, the project has so far failed to gain approval. In 2014, DOT Commissioner Joan McDonald fielded questions at an Albany budget hearing after governor Andrew Cuomo had announced in his State of the State proposal that his administration would spend $2.5 million on a feasibility study. While Commissioner McDonald was receptive to the idea of the highway, she announced that the DOT likely wouldn't pursue the project based on traffic studies that had performed in 2002 and 2006.[27]

Suffixed routes[edit]

US 11 has three suffixed routes, all of which serve as alternate routes to US 11. NY 11A and NY 11B were assigned as part of the1930 renumbering of state highways in New York,[28][29]while NY 11C was assigned in 1982.[19][22]
