US 11 begins east of New Orleans on US 90 and heads north to cross Interstate 10 and then cross Lake Pontchartrain via the long Maestri Bridge to Slidell. Interstate 12 and US 190 are crossed in Slidell, after which US 11 runs parallel to Interstate 59 to the Mississippi border at Pearl River. US 11 in Mississippi continues towards Hattiesburg.
History
US 11 was created in 1926 but then ran no further south than Nicholson, Mississippi. In 1937, US 11 was extended to Downtown New Orleans and shortened to US 90 east of New Orleans in 1941, thus avoiding unnecessary duplication of US 11 and US 90 in New Orleans.
The Maestri Bridge over Lake Pontchartrain opened to traffic on February 18, 1928. The bridge is 8 kilometers long and was the first bridge over the Lake Pontchartrain. In 1965, the parallel Interstate 10 opened, eliminating the throughput of US 11 between New Orleans and Slidell.
