NH-11: Quick Facts
New Hampshire Route 11, usually referred to as NH‑11, is a long state highway that stretches across the central part of New Hampshire from the Vermont border in the west to the Maine line in the east.
Measuring just over 108 miles, it begins in Charlestown at the Vermont state line, where it continues westward as Vermont Route 11, and runs generally east‑northeast across the state before reaching Rochester near the Maine border.
As it travels across the state, NH‑11 intersects and runs alongside many significant roads. Early in its course, it overlaps briefly with NH 12 near Claremont and with NH 103 from Claremont toward Newport.
Farther east, the highway meets larger routes such as Interstate 89 near New London and U.S. Route 4 in Andover. Between Franklin and Gilford, NH‑11 shares pavement with U.S. Route 3, and it also crosses Interstate 93 near Tilton.
Closer to Lake Winnipesaukee, NH‑11 links with several of its suffixed routes — including NH 11A, 11B, and 11C — that provide local access around the lake and into towns like Laconia and Gilford. East of the lakes region, NH‑11 intersects NH 28A in Alton and continues through communities like New Durham and Farmington. Its eastern terminus is at the Spaulding Turnpike (NH 16) and U.S. Route 202 in Rochester, where it crosses into Maine and becomes Maine State Route 11.
NH‑11 serves as an important corridor linking rural and urban areas across central New Hampshire, connecting motorists with interstates, U.S. routes, and other state highways along its journey.
