State Route 17 (SR 17) is a 300-mile-long (480 km)

state highway that travels northwest–southeast in the east-central and northeastern parts of the U.S. state of Georgia. The highway connects the Savannah metro area to the North Carolina state line, northwest of Hiawassee and runs roughly parallel to the South Carolina
state line.

Route description

Port Wenthworth to Washington

SR 17 begins at an interchange with

SR 17 Conn. After entering Effingham County, SR 17 departs US 80/SR 26, and continues northwest, paralleling the Ogeechee River through rural parts of Effingham, Screven, and Jenkins Counties before arriving in Millen
.

After a short concurrency with SR 23 and SR 67 in Millen, SR 17 continues west, then northwest, still parallel to the Ogeechee River, to Louisville. SR 17 travels concurrent with US 1/US 221/SR 4 from Louisville north to Wrens. In Wrens, SR 17 departs and continues to the northwest to Thomson.

In Thomson, SR 17 travels concurrent with

US 378
, and departs the concurrency with US 78/SR 10, before leaving the town.

Washington to Toccoa

After traveling through Washington, SR 17 travels through the small town of Tignall as it continues into the mountains of northeast Georgia, first passing through Elberton, where it has a short concurrency with SR 72, then Bowman, where it intersects SR 172, and bypassing the main part of the city of Royston.

In

divided highway as it has a partial cloverleaf interchange with I-85 just north of downtown Lavonia. Afterwards, the divided highway ends, and SR 17 continues on its way through rural Stephens County before reaching the city of Toccoa
.

Toccoa to Young Harris

Southeast of Toccoa, the highway turns to a westerly direction, bypassing the city on another divided highway towards

US 123/SR 365 in the process. Sometime after entering Habersham County, the highway departs northwest, with US 123 ending soon after and SR 365 heading southwest towards the cities of Gainesville and Atlanta. There is a concurrency with SR 115
somewhere around the Clarkesville area. Outside of Clarkesville, the highway continues northwest, traveling through the historic Nacoochee Valley.

SR 17 then begins a concurrency with

Hiawassee River valley. East of the town of Hiawassee, Georgia, the highways begin a concurrency with US 76/SR 2
.

In Hiawassee, SR 75 departs to the northeast. A few miles to the west, north-northeast of Young Harris, SR 17 departs US 76/SR 2, and begins a short concurrency to the north with SR 515 until they both reach their northern terminus at the North Carolina state line. The road continues into North Carolina as North Carolina Highway 69 (NC 69).

National Highway System

The following portions of SR 17 are part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:

  • From Louisville to a point west of Clarkesville (the northern end of the SR 115 concurrency)[3]
  • The concurrency with US 76/SR 2[3]

History

1920s

SR 17 was established at least as early as 1919 from SR 26 in Swainsboro to Warrenton. It also extended from SR 12 in Thomson, with no indication on the 1920 map as to whether it was concurrent with SR 12 between these segments to the South Carolina state line northeast of Toccoa. Between Royston and Toccoa, SR 17 took a more western path, through Canon and Carnesville, than it does today. At this time, an unnumbered road was built from Canon to Toccoa, on the current path of SR 17. Also, SR 2 was built on an alignment from west-northwest of Clayton to west-southwest of Hiawassee.[2] By the end of 1921, SR 17 was proposed to be extended southward through Lyons to Baxley. The Louisville–Gibson segment was shifted eastward to become the Louisville–Wrens segment. This new path was concurrent with SR 24. SR 17 traveled west from Wrens to Gibson and then resumed its previous path. SR 17 was indicated to be concurrent with SR 12 between Warrenton and Thomson. The Canon–Carnesville segment was redesignated as part of SR 51. SR 17 was designated on the previously unnumbered road from Canon to Toccoa. Also, the segment from Toccoa to the South Carolina state line was redesignated as part of SR 13. Also, an unnumbered road was built from Hiawassee to the North Carolina state line north of that city.[2][4] By the end of 1926, US 1 was designated on the Swainsboro–Wrens segment, while US 78 was designated on the Thomson–Washington segment. SR 17, concurrent with SR 32, was built from Baxley to Lyons, and was built solely on the Lyons–Swainsboro segment. The Emanuel County portion of the Swainsboro–Louisville segment, as well as the segment of SR 17 and SR 24 from Louisville to Wrens, was under construction. The Jefferson County portion of the Swainsboro–Louisville segment, approximately half of the Thomson–Washington segment, a segment just north of Washington, from just south of the Wilkes–Elbert county line to the Elbert–Hart county line, from the Franklin–Stephens county line to Toccoa, and from west of Clayton to Hiawassee, had a "sand clay or top soil" surface. The segment in the vicinity of Washington, as well as a longer segment farther north of Washington, had a completed hard surface.[4][5] By the end of the decade, SR 32 was removed from the Baxley–Lyons segment, and SR 24 was removed from the Louisville–Wrens segment. This was due to SR 32 and SR 24 being re-routed on different alignments in their respective areas.[5][6]

1930s

In 1930, the then-southern terminus was truncated from Baxley to Wrens. The state highway on its former alignment between these two cities was redesignated as SR 4, with US 1 still on that alignment. SR 80 was designated on the Gibson–Warrenton segment. A small portion west-southwest of Hiawassee had a completed hard surface.

grading, but was not surfaced.[25][26] A few months later, the western part of the Jenkins County portion of the Millen–Midville segment was under construction. The southern half of the Royston–Canon segment had a sand clay or top soil surface. Also, the portion northwest of Toccoa had a completed semi hard surface.[26][27] In 1937, the Jenkins County portion of the Millen–Midville segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. The Burke County portion of this segment was under construction. A portion west-northwest of Midville also had completed grading, but was not surfaced. The Hart County portion of the Elberton–Royston segment, as well as a portion of it southeast of Toccoa, had a completed hard surface.[28][29] A few months later, the Burke County portion of the Millen–Midville segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[29][30] Before 1938, SR 105 was designated from Clarkesville to Nacoochee. Also, the segment of SR 17 from Royston to Bowersville had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[30][31] Later that year, the northwest part of the Elbert County portion, as well as a small portion east-southeast of Hiawassee, had a completed hard surface. At the same time, the segment northwest of Toccoa had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[31][32] By the middle of 1939, a portion north of Washington, as well as the Elberton–Royston segment, had a completed hard surface. The segment from Bowersville to Lavonia was under construction. The Elbert County portion of the Lavonia–Toccoa segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced. At the same time, the portion of SR 17 northwest of Toccoa, as well as the portion of SR 75 from Nacoochee to east-southeast of Hiawassee, had a completed semi hard surface.[32][33] Later that year, the McDuffie County portion of the Stapleton–Thomson segment, as well as the portion from Royston to north of Bowersville, had a completed hard surface.[33][34]

1940s

In early 1940, a segment of SR 17, from north of Louisville to north of Stapleton, was shifted eastward to travel concurrent with US 1/SR 4 between Louisville and Wrens. It then traveled northwest to resume its previous routing.

Egypt had a "sand clay, top soil, or stabilized earth" surface; a small portion northwest of that one had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[43][44] In 1948, the Jenkins County portion of the Millen–Midville segment, as well as the segment from northwest of Wrens to Thomson, was hard surfaced.[44][45] The next year, nearly all of the Burke County portion of the Midville–Louisville segment, all of SR 105 from west of Clarkesville to southeast of Helen, and all of SR 75 from southeast of Helen to southeast of Hiawassee, were hard surfaced.[45][46]

1950s

By 1952, all of SR 167 northwest of US 80/SR 26 was redesignated as a southeastern extension of SR 17. A portion southeast of Millen had completed grading, but was not surfaced. All of SR 105, from west of Clarkesville to southeast of Helen, was redesignated as a northern extension of SR 17. At this time, SR 17 was also extended along SR 75 from southeast of Helen, to US 76/SR 2, concurrent with them to where SR 75 split off, and then along SR 75 to the North Carolina state line north-northeast of Hiawassee.[46][47] The next year, the segment from Guyton to Oliver, a portion southeast of Millen, and the segment of SR 17 and SR 75 from Hiawassee to the North Carolina state line, were all hard surfaced.[48][49] The next year, the segment from north-northeast of Dover to Millen was hard surfaced.[49][50] Another year later, the segment of SR 17 north of US 76/SR 2 was shifted westward to travel concurrently with SR 69. Also the segment from Oliver to north-northeast of Dover was hard surfaced.[50][51] Between 1957 and 1960, SR 69 was decommissioned. During this time, the segment of the highway from west-northwest of Midville to Louisville was paved.[52][53]

1960s to 2010s

Between 1963 and 1966, an unnumbered road was built south-southwest of Bloomingdale.

SR 13 Conn.[58][59] In 1986, this bypass was built and designated.[59][60] In 1988, SR 365 was proposed to be built from south-southwest of Toccoa to west-northwest of the city.[61][62] The next year, SR 515 was established in the state, including its concurrency with SR 17 from US 76/SR 2 to the North Carolina state line.[62][63] In 1991, SR 17 was shifted south of Toccoa, replacing SR 13 Conn.; its old route was redesignated as SR 17 Alt. Its new path traveled concurrent with SR 365 on its previously-proposed path.[64][65] In 2017, it was planned to extended Jimmy DeLoach Parkway from its current southern terminus at US 80/SR 17/SR 26, partially along the path of Bloomingdale Road (from SR 17's current southern terminus at I-16 to just south of its intersection with the northern terminus of Pine Barren Road). Construction on the extension began in 2018 and was completed in late 2022.[66][67]

Future

The at-grade intersection at Jimmy DeLoach Parkway's current southern terminus is to be converted into a full

right-of-way of the extension, is to be shifted to the west.[66]

State Route 17 Connector (SR 17 Conn.) is a

SR 404, at exit 152. SR 17 Conn. proceeds north until reaching its northern terminus at an interchange with US 80/SR 17/SR 26 where SR 17 takes on the Jimmy LeDoach Parkway name to continue east, then southeast to Port Wentworth
. SR 17 Conn. follows the old mainline of SR 17 before the mainline was shifted to continue southeast on Jimmy DeLoach Parkway in February 2020.

In 2017, it was planned to extend Jimmy DeLoach Parkway from its current southern terminus at US 80/SR 17/SR 26 to I-16/SR 404, partially along the path of Bloomingdale Road. Construction on the extension began in 2018.[66]

SR 17 Conn. was to be rerouted onto the parkway's extension from US 80 to I-16 in late 2022.[68]

The entire route is in Bloomingdale, Chatham County.

LocationMillen
Length1.5 mi[69] (2.4 km)

State Route 17 Bypass (SR 17 Byp.) is a 1.5-mile-long (2.4 km) bypass route that exists entirely within the central part of Jenkins County. Nearly the entire route is within the city limits of Millen.

It begins at an intersection with the SR 17 mainline (South Masonic Street) just south of town. It heads northwest into town on Recreation Drive. Then, it curves to the west-southwest on South Gray Street. A few blocks later, it intersects US 25/SR 23/SR 67/SR 121 (Statesboro Road). The five highways travel concurrently to the north-northeast and curve to a nearly due-north routing. At SR 17 (West Winthrope Avenue), SR 23/SR 67 leaves the concurrency to the right on SR 17 south, US 25/SR 121 continue straight ahead, and SR 17 Byp. reaches its northern terminus.[69]

The only part of SR 17 Byp. that is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility, is the part concurrent with US 25/SR 23/SR 67/SR 121.[3]

The entire route is in Jenkins County.

State Route 17 Bypass (SR 17 Byp.) is a 7.4-mile-long (11.9 km) bypass route that exists entirely within the central part of McDuffie County. Its entire length is a bypass of Thomson.

It begins at an

SR 12 (Augusta Highway). At this intersection, US 78/SR 10 travel concurrent with SR 17 Byp., while US 278 heads to the west, concurrent with SR 12 and enters Thomson. After this intersection, US 78/SR 10/SR 17 Byp. travel to the northeast and curve to the north-northwest before intersecting SR 223 (White Oak Road). After curving to a due-west orientation, the concurrency bends to the northwest and briefly enters town. Immediately after crossing the city limits, they intersect SR 150 (Cobbham Road). The three highways curve back to the north-northwest and leave town. Farther along, they cross over, without an interchange with, Interstate 20 (I-20; Carl Sanders Highway). A few thousand feet farther to the north-northwest, they curve to the west-northwest and intersect the SR 17 mainline (Washington Road). At this intersection, SR 17 Byp. reaches its northern terminus, and US 78/SR 10 turn right onto SR 17 north.[71]

The portion of SR 17 Byp. from its southern terminus to the intersection with US 78/SR 10, US 278, and the eastern terminus of SR 12 is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense.[3]

The entire route is in McDuffie County.

Length2.7 mi[72] (4.3 km)

State Route 17 Business (SR 17 Bus.) is a 2.7-mile-long (4.3 km) business route of SR 17 that exists entirely within the south-central part of Wilkes County. Nearly all of the highway's path is contained within the city limits of Washington.

It begins at an

SR 10 Bus., which, along with SR 47, are concurrent with SR 17 Bus. from its southern terminus. US 78 Bus./SR 10 Bus./SR 17 Bus./SR 47 travel northwest into the main part of town on East Robert Toombs Avenue. Just after passing the Robert Toombs House State Historic Site, SR 17 Bus. departs the concurrency by turning right onto Poplar Drive. The highway travels to the north and begins a gradual curve to the north-northeast. A few blocks later, it intersects US 78/SR 10/SR 44 (Lexington Road). SR 17 Bus./SR 44 head concurrent for one block. At Danburg Road, SR 44 splits off to the east. SR 17 Bus. gently curves to the northwest before curving back to the north-northeast and meeting its terminus, a second intersection with the SR 17 mainline (Tignall Road), north of town.[72]

SR 17 Bus. is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]

The entire route is in Wilkes County.

State Route 17 Business (SR 17 Bus.) is a 2.2-mile-long (3.5 km) business route that exists within portions of Hart and Franklin counties in the northeastern part of the U.S. state of Georgia. Except for the very beginning of the highway, the entire route is within the city limits of Royston.

It begins at an intersection with the SR 17 mainline just southwest of town, in Hart County. It travels northwest, enters the city limits, and passes Rose Hill Cemetery. Just past the cemetery, it enters Franklin County. The highway curves to the north and meets the northern terminus of SR 281 (Wildcat Bridge Road). After beginning a very gradual slant to the north-northeast, it intersects US 29/SR 8 (Hartwell Street). The highway slightly bends to the north-northwest and meets its northern terminus, a second intersection with the SR 17 mainline.[73]

SR 17 Business is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]

Toccoa Falls. Part of the highway, from Hollywood to Clarkesville, travels along a former section of U.S. Route 441
.

It begins at an

US 441 Bus./SR 385, which travel concurrent with the highway southwest of here. The three highways enter Clarkesville. In town, they intersect SR 197, which joins the concurrency. At this intersection, there is a sign that says that SR 17 Alt. ends here, but there is signage at the northern terminus that contradicts this. The four highways travel to the southwest on Grant Street and curve to the southeast on Washington Street. At Monroe Avenue, they intersect the SR 17 mainline. At this intersection, SR 17 Alt. meets its northern terminus, SR 115 meets its eastern terminus, and SR 17 joins the concurrency.[74]

SR 17 Alt., from its southern terminus to the northwest part of Toccoa, is included as part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[3]
