Major cities

Most of the distance that U.S. Highway 411 travels is rural countryside, with no major metropolitan areas along its route, although it passes near the cities of Birmingham, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia and Knoxville, Tennessee. In Sevier County, Tennessee, the highway is used by many tourists as a gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, of which the highway passes about 20 miles north. Though generally a two lane route, the Tennessee Department of Transportation is in the processing of completing its widening of the highway between Maryville, Tennessee & Benton, Tennessee, with portions from Maryville, Tennessee to Madisonville, Tennessee and Englewood, Tennessee to Delano, Tennessee (Polk County) completed.
Although it carries a north-south designation, the lengthy section between Cartersville, Georgia, and Gadsden, Alabama, is east-west.
