Source-derived summary

State Road 211 is a short east–west connector route in southeast Harrison County in the U.S. state of Indiana.

Route description

State Road 211 begins at an intersection with State Road 11 northeast of the town of Elizabeth. SR 211 proceeds east through a rural portion of Posey Township, soon turning southeast and winding down a hill, the route reaches a junction with State Road 111 in Sugar Grove, which marks the eastern terminus of the route, just 2.04 miles (3.28 km) east of where it started. The terminus is a short distance away from the Ohio River.

No section of SR 211 is listed on the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility and defense. The highway is maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) like all other state roads in the state. The department tracks the traffic volumes along all state highways as a part of its maintenance responsibilities using a metric called average annual daily traffic (AADT). This measurement is a calculation of the traffic level along a segment of roadway for any average day of the year. In 2010, INDOT figured that the traffic levels present on SR 211 were 2,490 vehicles and 60 commercial vehicles daily.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Posey Township, Harrison County.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “highway in Indiana” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 3, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q788348. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
