Route 11 is a state highway in east-central Connecticut, serving traffic between the Hartford and New London areas (via Route 2). It was originally planned to be a freeway from Colchester to Waterford. However, only about half of the freeway has been constructed and currently ends in Salem due to funding and environmental issues. Plans to finish Route 11 were revived in the late 1990s due to increased traffic in the area (primarily due to Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun). Contrary to local opposition to new highways, most of the residents of the area are in favor of completing the highway. Subsequently, Route 11 was submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation for inclusion on the federal government's "fast-track" streamlining process, designed for federal agencies to quickly complete necessary steps on stalled projects, and was approved in August 2004. Funding for Route 11 has also been included in the proposed 2006 Connecticut state transportation bill. Right of way acquisition for the highway is currently ongoing.

The Route 11 extension is proposed to be built not to full freeway standards, but as a fully limited access principal arterial with 4 lanes. A full interchange with Interstate 95 and Interstate 395 will also be built as part of the highway extension. The highway will also be built with the greenway concept (similar to a parkway) to preserve surrounding natural wildlife habitats, and will also include bicycle and hiking trails. When completed, Route 11 is expected to be approximately 16 miles long.
