DE 11 begins at the Maryland border in western Kent County, where the road continues west into that state as MD 302 toward the town of Templeville. From the state line, DE 11 heads northeast on two-lane, undivided Arthursville Road through a mix of woods and farms with occasional residences. The road enters the town of Hartly, where it passes several homes along with some commercial establishments. In the center of town, the route crosses DE 44 and heads north before it curves northeast out of Hartly. DE 11 continues into rural areas with some residences, making another turn north. The road runs northeast and crosses Jordan Branch and Pinks Branch before it comes to an end at DE 300 to the southwest of the town of Kenton.[1][2]

History

By 1920 what is now DE 11 existed as an unimproved county road.[4][5] The portion of the route north of Hartly was built as a paved state highway in 1927.[6] The road south of Hartly was taken over by the state and paved by 1931.[7] DE 11 was assigned to its current alignment by 1936.[8] The route has not changed since its inception.[1]
