The highway acts as a frontage road to Interstate 41/Interstate 94 (I-41/I-94), providing access to the Wisconn Valley Science and Technology Park developed by Foxconn.

WIS 311 meanders along a four-lane divided roadway in its entirety, which is sandwiched in between I-41/I-94 to the west and a Foxconn plant to the east.

The roadway starts at WIS 195 at the Somers–Mount Pleasant line, then curves slightly to the west and east before intersecting with Braun Road.
