Photo courtesy of Annabelle Studio  Above - Postcard view of the Hwy 11 & Hwy 60 Junction in Huntsville (ca. 1950) Photo courtesy of Newt Winger This highway junction was extensively reconfigured when Hwy 60 was extended west from Old Hwy 11 to connect to the new Huntsville Bypass in 1973. Both highways were realigned so that the two roads intersected at right angles. Significant regrading also took place to improve the grades approaching the intersection.
