The route travels north concurrent with US 129 through Statenville, Lakeland, Nashville, Ocilla, Fitzgerald, and Abbeville, before arriving in Hawkinsville.

[2] By the end of 1921, both segments were indicated to be connected by a concurrency with SR 12 between Covington and Social Circle.

Then, SR 11 had a western curve before reaching the North Carolina state line.

[2][8] By the end of 1926, SR 11's southern terminus was then at the Florida state line, but south-southeast of Statenville.

Three segments had a "completed hard surface": from Ocilla to Fitzgerald, from Echeconnee to east-northeast of Macon, and in the north-northeast part of Gainesville.

Six segments had a "sand clay or top soil" surface: from east-northeast of Macon to Gray, from south of Monticello to north-northwest of that city, a small portion southeast of Covington, from Monroe to Jefferson, nearly the entire Hall County portion of the Jefferson–Gainesville segment, from the north-northeast part of Gainesville to just east of White–Lumpkin county line.

[9][10] By the middle of 1930, five segments of the highway had a completed hard surface: from Fitzgerald to just north of the Ben Hill–Wilcox county line, from north-northwest of Hawkinsville, from Perry to Gray, a segment in the southwest part of Jefferson, and from north-northeast of Gainesville to the North Carolina state line.

[10][11] Later that year, a segment in the southwestern part of Social Circle had a completed hard surface.

Two segments had a sand clay or top soil: from Social Circle to Winder and from Jefferson to Gainesville.

[11][12] By the end of the next year, US 19 south of Turners Corner was shifted west and off of SR 11.

[12][13] In March 1932, the Pulaski County portion of the Abbeville–Hawkinsville segment had a sand clay or top soil.

[20][21] In June that year, the Lanier County portion of the Lakeland–Nashville segment had a completed hard surface.

[22][23] The next month, the Berrien County portion of the Lakeland–Nashville segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced.

[24][25] At the end of the year, the entire segment from Gainesville to the North Carolina state line also had a completed hard surface.

[29][30] At the end of the next year, US 129 was extended on SR 11 from Turners Corner to the North Carolina state line.

[32][33] Later that year, a small portion just south of Ocilla had a completed hard surface.

[35][36] A few months later, two small segments had a completed hard surface: one just south of the Jones–Jasper county line and one just north-northwest of Monroe.

[36][37] By the end of the year, the entire Pulaski County portion had a completed hard surface.

[37][38] A few months later, the Berrien County portion of the Alapaha–Ocilla segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced.

From north-northwest of Monroe to Winder, SR 11 had a sand clay or top soil surface.

[43][44] The decade ended with the entire segment from the Florida state line to Lakeland having a completed hard surface.

[55][56] In 1982, at a point northeast of Byron, SR 11 was shifted eastward onto US 41/SR 49 and then US 41/US 129/SR 49/SR 247 and headed north-northwest into Macon.

[72] This project is part of a master plan to convert SR 316 into a full limited-access highway.

At Houston Lake Road, the highway joins a concurrency with SR 127, until it reaches Ball Street, where US 341/SR 11 Bus.

[83][81] State Route 11 Connector (SR 11 Conn.) is a 2.8-mile-long (4.5 km) connecting route of SR 11 located northwest of the main part of Perry, and is the concurrent state road for US 341 in its entire length from US 41/SR 11/SR 11 Bus.

turns left onto Washington Avenue along with US 129 Bus., while SR 15 Alt./SR 82 continue east onto Sycamore Street towards Commerce and the Gainesville metropolitan area respectively.

branches off to the northeast onto Riverside Drive, while SR 60 continues north along Thompson Bridge Road.

moves onto Morningside Drive, which winds through a wooded residential area until it encounters a row of billboards on the southwest corner of a local street named Park Hill Drive, then adopts that street name as its own.

encounters the northern terminus of SR 11 Conn. across from South Enota Drive Northeast.

One last local intersection (Lakeville Drive) branching off to the northwest and the entrance to the Chattahoochee–Oconee division of the United States Forest Service can be found before SR 11 Bus.
