U.S. Route 11 in Georgia, is also signed as State Route 58 for its entire length in Georgia. The route only passes through one county, Dade County, in the state.

Routing

After entering the state from Alabama, U.S. Route 11 and State Route 58 travel northeast, parallel to Interstate 59, through the valley between Sand Mountain and Lookout Mountain. The route passes through the county seat of Dade County, Trenton, where it is briefly cosigned with State Route 136. In the community of Wildwood, U.S. Route 11 and State Route 58 serve as the eastern terminus of State Route 299 before continuing north into Tennessee.

ignificance
