History

SH 11 has known several routes in history. The original SH 11 of the early 1920s ran from Wolcott to Kremmling in the northwest part of the state. This route was scrapped in 1950, the southern portion became SH 131 and the remainder to Kremmling became a county road. At that time, not a single part of SH 11 was asphalted.

Then, in the 1960s, SH 11 was assigned to the US 85/87 freeway through Colorado Springs (later I-25). SH 11 ran on the highway between both connections to Nevada Avenue for approximately 12 kilometers. This route existed between 1960 and 1968.

In 1971, SH 11 was assigned for the third time, on its current route at Julesburg. The road has remained unchanged since then.
