Route 11 (also known as the Daiba Route) is one of the routes of the Shuto Expressway system in the Tokyo area. Route 11 runs from Shibaura Junction (with the Haneda Route) in Minato-ku and runs for 3.9 km through Rainbow Bridge. The Route 11 ends at the Ariake Junction connecting with the Bayshore Route in Kōtō-ku.

Originally, the route number was "12" in the urban planning.

Traffic

It runs through Rainbow Bridge that is renowned for its beautiful scenery, so sometimes, especially holidays, a high concentration of cars on the bridge causes chronic traffic congestion.
