man...I used to know US 11 as a boy...from Meridian Miss to VMI in Lexington VA with my dad for functions...
much of it is still there unlike many old US highways
Sure is; probably because it is named Lee Highway in Virginia (Lee-Jackson Highway in the Shenandoah Valley). Some of it got paved over by I-81, but not a whole lot, and what remained has been left pretty much intact because it connects many small towns. Much more pleasant to drive than I-81!
