State Route 211 (SR 211) is a 1.23-mile-long (1.98 km) north–south state highway in the eastern portion of the U.S. state of Ohio. Though physically it runs in a northwesterly–southeasterly direction, according to the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and signage on the route itself its southern terminus is located north of its northern terminus. The unusual directional signage is a vestige of when SR 211 traveled further south acting as a bypass of New Philadelphia and Dover. The highway runs from its signed southern terminus at a signalized intersection with SR 39 on the border of the city of Dover and Dover Township, just one block east of exit 83 off the Interstate 77 (I-77)/U.S. Route 250 (US 250) freeway, to its signed northern terminus at a signalized intersection with SR 800 near downtown Dover.
SR 211 almost runs entirely within Dover in central Tuscarawas County. The highway begins at an intersection with SR 39 in Dover Township, about 200 feet (60 m) east of its interchange with I-77 and US 250. This intersection is surrounded by numerous commercial businesses including gas stations and fast food restaurants as a part of its closeness to the Interstate. It heads east and after crossing into the city and an R.J. Corman railroad at-grade, SR 211 follows Tuscarawas Avenue towards the southeast through a residential neighborhood of Dover. In addition to houses, it passes numerous churches, small businesses, and schools (including Tuscarawas Central Catholic High School and Dover High School). Before crossing the Tuscarawas River, SR 211 turns left to head northeast on Front Street for three blocks. At Wooster Street, SR 211 ends at a signalized intersection with SR 800. SR 800 heads to the southeast on Wooster Street over the river and northeast on Front Street.
