The western terminus is at exit 24 of I-96, one mile (1.6 km) east of Marne. In Ottawa County, the road is called Ironwood Drive. beginning at the Kent County border, the street is called Remembrance Road (in honor of those who died in battle). From its western terminus, the road angles southeast-northwest for about a mile and a half. It then turns onto Wilson Ave to run north–south.
It intersects with M-45/Lake Michigan Drive in Walker's Standale Business District. South of Lake Michigan Drive, the route continues on Wilson Ave. until it crosses the Grand River at I-196.
Past I-196, the route curves to run east–west and becomes 28th Street. Wilson continues as a local road and 28th Street is the route through Grandville and Wyoming. It intersects with US 131 and continues through Grand Rapids and Kentwood to its eastern terminus as exit 44 of I-96.
M-11 originally ran along Lake Michigan in the 1920's, and then became US 31 in 1926. Streets are still designated as Old M-11 in places such as Chikaming Township[2] and Honor.
M-11 was later designated on Austin Road from Saline to Napoleon until 1954.
