New York Roads - US 11


Wait! That's not NY 11! That's US 11!


US 11 parallels I-81 for as long as I-81 is in NY; once I-81 goes into Canada, 11 follows the northern border of NY up to US 2. 2 ends at 11, which crosses the border a few hundred feet later, east of US 9; it is a misconception that 2 and 11 end at each other.


US 11 NB and SB, respectively, at NY 363 in Binghamton, which gets signed from almost nowhere (even on its own mainline). A short block ahead, NY 7 and US 11 begin their duplex, while a little to the north, NY 363 NB melts into NY 7 NB.


Obviously the truck route is designed to detour around this particular railroad crossing and its old signs. These are heading north out of Binghamton.


Northbound past an old truss with a duplex on top. NY 206 is signed like it's on the bridge, but doesn't begin till the other side.


Waaaay old NY 222 shield on US 11 SB in Cortland, and waaaay old NY Thruway shield on NY 173 EB at US 11 near Syracuse, courtesy Doug Kerr. The latter must date from the advent of the Thruway.

Up to the northern end of the route, note the different reds and blues in the Canadian shield here at the beginning of NY 9B (so that should be SOUTH, not TO).
