In the U.S. state of West Virginia, U.S. Route 11 (US 11) spans 26.2 miles (42.2 km) across the Eastern Panhandle region. US 11 enters the state near Ridgeway, and crosses into Maryland just south of Williamsport. The highway closely parallels Interstate 81 (I-81) for its entire length.
US 11 begins as an extension of US 11 in Virginia, crossing the state line just north of Rest. The highway travels northwest through a light residential setting in the community of Ridgeway. After leaving Ridgeway, the US 11, named Winchester Avenue, passes through light woodlands before they give way to the community of Bunker Hill. The highway, now named the Winchester Pike serves as the main north–south highway through the town. Several small business and residences line the highway as it leaves Bunker Hill. As the highway continues north, it passes between several sports stadiums before entering urbanized Inwood. In Inwood, US 11 becomes concurrent with West Virginia Route 51 (WV 51) for about 0.2 miles (0.32 km). As with the community of Ridgeway and Bunker Hill, US 11 serves as the main north–south road through the town.
The intersection of County Route 32 and the Winchester Pike forms the southwestern corner of the Eastern WV Regional Airport, which the pike passes to the west of as it approaches the community of Pikeside and an intersection with County Route 19. The name of the road changes back to Winchester Avenue as it heads north into the city of Martinsburg, intersecting WV 45 before the highway turns east onto West King Street. US 11 heads east for several blocks along King Street before turning north along Queen Street, concurrent with WV 9 and WV 45. The three highways pass just west of the Martinsburg train station, which services both Amtrak and MARC, before passing under the railroad track, belonging to the CSX railroad. An intersection with East Moler Avenue carries WV 45 east, while another interchange in the northern outskirts of the city carries WV 9 north towards a cloverleaf interchange with I-81 as US 11 turns northeast.
