New Brunswick Highway 11 is one of the most important highways in eastern New Brunswick, Canada. Approximately 430 kilometres long, the road runs from Shediac to the Quebec border near Campbellton, following the province's eastern and northern coastlines. Between Shediac and Miramichi, and between Bathurst and Campbellton, it is a two-lane expressway. The highway is twinned in the Shediac region.
The highway starts at New Brunswick Highway 15 in Shediac and goes northward past Bouctouche and Richibucto to Kouchibouguac National Park, then turning northwest to Miramichi, where it crosses the Miramichi River on the Centennial Bridge.
From Miramichi, Highway 11 turns northeast to hug the coast of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Baie des Chaleurs. It is the main street through most of the towns in the Acadian Peninsula, including Neguac, Tracadie, Caraquet, Bertrand and Grande-Anse.
At Bathurst, Highway 11 becomes a bypass route, running past most of the towns between there and Campbellton. The road runs through the middle of Tide Head and follows the Restigouche River to the Quebec border.
