It runs concurrently with State Route 58 (SR 58) for its entire length.

While there, it curves to the north-northwest and begins to parallel some railroad tracks of Norfolk Southern Railway for a short distance.

In the main part of the city, the southbound and northbound lanes go around the Dade County Courthouse.

It passes Trenton Cemetery and then Primary Health Care Center – Lookout Mountain.

The roadway that would eventually become US 11 in Georgia was established by at least 1920 as part of SR 1 from Trenton to the Tennessee state line.

[2] By the third quarter of 1921, the roadway had been redesignated as SR 58 and extended to the Alabama state line.

Also, a segment from about Rising Fawn to Trenton had a "sand clay or top soil" surface.

[7][8] By the end of 1946, SR 2 had been extended to the Alabama state line, thus having a concurrency with US 11/SR 58.
