This page is about the original US 411 (not to be confused with the short-lived
US 411
[II], or the current
US 411). It was an east-west route, but since it connected only with US
11 (in Bristol) and US 25E (at Cumberland Gap), there was no east-west (even)
number that would've been a better choice. A few years later, in 1933, US 421
was extended west from Boone NC along the entirety of what had been US 411.
And the following year, US 58 was extended westward to the same terminus at
Cumberland Gap.
This junction no longer exists, but you can view photos and get more info on
this page. Photos
of the Bristol
endpoint can be viewed here.
