North Carolina Highway 11 Bypass (NC 11 Byp.), is a 17.9-mile (28.8 km),[1] bypass route of NC 11 in Pitt County, North Carolina. The bypass is a four-lane freeway that runs between a junction with NC 11 south of Ayden to an interchange with U.S. Route 264 (US 264), US 13, NC 11, and NC 903 north of Greenville, wrapping around the west side of Ayden and Winterville and the northwest side of Greenville. The southern 12.6 miles (20.3 km) of the route is known as the Greenville Southwest Bypass to locals, which was built due to plans relating traffic alleviation the NC 11 and Stantonsburg Road corridors.[3] The remaining 6.8-mile (10.9 km) segment of the route is concurrent with US 264.

The Greenville Southwest Bypass was proposed due to the recent increased population growth of Greenville, which has led to congestion along the NC 11 corridor.[4] Additionally, the bypass was also planned to help aid growth and development within the area. As such, the Southwest Bypass Land Use Plan was adopted by the Pitt County Board of Commissioners on October 15, 2018, in order to guide the design and scale of future development along the corridor.[5]
