An alternate route of then-US 11 between Stockholm Center and Coteys Corner that bypassed the Brasher Falls area to the south was added to the state highway system on September 1, 1982, and designated as NY 11C.

NY 11C continues on, crossing over the west branch of the St. Regis River and entering a residential area of Stockholm known as Winthrop.

The highway then veers to the southeast, and eventually to the east through largely forested areas as it passes into the town of Lawrence.

NY 11C follows a routing parallel to that of the Brasher–Lawrence town line to North Lawrence, where it turns south onto Nicholville–Helena Road.

[6] 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 of Canton.
