U.S. Highway 411 is an alternate highway connected with U.S. Route 11. It currently extends for about 313 miles (500 km) from U.S. Route 78 in Leeds, Alabama, to U.S. Highway 25 in Newport, Tennessee. U.S. 411 passes through the northeastern State of Alabama, the northwestern State of Georgia, and the southeastern State of Tennessee. Notable towns and cities along its route include Gadsden, Alabama, Rome, Georgia, Cartersville, Georgia, Cleveland, Tennessee, and Sevierville, Tennessee.

Most of the distance through which U.S. Highway 411 passes is rural countryside, with no major metropolitan areas directly along its route. However, it does pass relatively near the cities of Birmingham, Alabama, Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Knoxville, Tennessee. In Sevier County, Tennessee, south of Knoxville, U.S. 411 is used by many tourists as a route to the northern side of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. U.S. 411 passes about 20 miles (32 km) north of the National Park, but it intersects with U.S. Highway 441, which actually goes through this Park.

U.S. 411 is generally a two-lane highway through the countryside. However, it has long been a four-lane, divided highway connecting Rome, Georgia and Cartersville, Georgia, and it is a multilane highway connecting Cartersville with Interstate 75. Also, for part of its route in the Cartersville area, U.S. 411 shares a four-lane, divided highway with U.S. Highway 41. Furthermore, the Tennessee Department of Transportation is in the process of widening of this highway to four lanes between Marywille and Benton, with the two stretches from Maryville to Madisonville, and Englewood to Delano, Polk County, completed.

Although U.S. 411 has a north–south designation, it contains long stretches that are east–west by the rising and setting sun, and its overall direction is actually from the northeast to the southwest.
