History
Built as a bypass to relieve downtown Cleveland from industrial and commercial traffic, Keith Street was the first bypass and four lane highway in Bradley County. The project began in 1956, with construction of a two-lane road by the city of Cleveland between US 11/64 (South Lee Highway/Third Street) and 17th Street.[3] The section between 17th Street and US 11 was constructed as a four-lane divided highway by the state, with the construction contract let on October 30, 1959.[4] The section opened to traffic on December 2, 1960.[5] The state then assumed control of the remainder of the route, which was widened to four lanes in the earlier 1960s. Initially known as the Cleveland Bypass, Keith Street was named in honor of prominent local resident Keith Hines.[3]
Originally, the route's state designation was SR 2 Byp., and SR 2 remained on the bypassed portion of US 11. In 1983, when the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) modified their highway numbering system, SR 2 was rerouted onto Keith Street. The section of US 11 between the southern terminus of Keith Street and the intersection with US 64 became part of SR 40 (which continues on US 64 into North Carolina, and the section between US 64 and Keith Street's northern terminus became part of SR 74.

Length | 9.7 mi (15.6 km) |
U.S. Route 11 Business (US 11 Bus.) is a business route of US 11 that runs from Riceville to Athens, Tennessee. It runs along SR 39 in Riceville until it reaches downtown Athens where it becomes a one-way pair just before the intersection with Woodman Street. From there, US 11 Bus./SR 39 runs north and eastbound on Madison Avenue, while the southbound routes runs along Washington Street. At the McMinn County Courthouse, the routes turn onto a second one way pair specifically northbound along Jackson Street and southbound along White Street. The one-way pair ends as the routes merge into Jackson Street at Tennessee Wesleyan University between College Street and Coach Farmer Drive. On the verge of departing downtown, the road has one major intersection with SR 30 (Decatur Pike westbound and Green Street eastbound), then runs along the hills of the suburbanized landscape of the outskirts of the city. At an abandoned factory near a railroad line, Jackson Street ends as it makes a sharp turn west onto Redfern Drive and then crosses a railroad crossing before finally terminating at US 11.

U.S. Route 11 Alternate (US 11 Alt.) was an alternate route of US 11 between Camp Hill and Wormleysburg in Pennsylvania, passing through Lemoyne. US 11 Alt. began at US 11/US 15 at the intersection of 32nd and Market streets in Camp Hill, heading east along Market Street. The route continued into Lemoyne and curved to the northeast, intersecting US 111 at 3rd Street. At this point, US 11 Alt. became concurrent with US 111, and the two routes continued northeast along Market Street, crossing a Pennsylvania Railroad line as the road curved northwest to follow the west bank of the Susquehanna River. US 11 Alt./US 111 became Front Street and passed the western ends of the Market Street Bridge and the Walnut Street Bridge, which both cross the river to Harrisburg. The alternate route continued along the west bank of the Susquehanna River into Wormleysburg, where it and US 111 both ended at an intersection with US 11/US 15 at Walnut Street, where Front Street continued north as US 11/US 15.[11]
