At this bridge, it leaves Yonts Fork and begins paralleling Quillen Fork. It crosses over the fork twice before it ends. The highway then curves to the north-northeast and becomes a curvy road as it travels to the northwest. KY 317 begins paralleling Stevens Fork. It intersects the western terminus of KY 1469 (Long Fork Road) just before it crosses over Rockhouse Creek and curves to the west-southwest. Here, Stevens Fork ends; also, the highway begins paralleling the creek. It then enters Deane, where it curves to the northwest and meets its northern terminus, an intersection with KY 7.^[1]
