Route description edit

SR 17 begins in Franklin County at a T-intersection with SR 4 (Carry Road) in Oquossoc village (part of Rangeley town.)

From there it heads south along the western shore of Rangeley Lake, passing South Shore Drive on the east, and continues on through Rangeley Plantation. It then enters Oxford County at Byron, and continues south through Roxbury and into Mexico where it intersects US 2.

It then runs westerly concurrent with US 2 through Mexico and Dixfield 16.79 miles (27.02 km) until it leaves US 2 near the border of Oxford County and re-enters Franklin County, where it runs westerly until it connects with SR 4 in Jay.

It then runs southerly concurrent with SR 4 through Jay and into Androscoggin County at Livermore Falls where it switches to run concurrent with SR 133 for a short way before leaving SR 133 and heading east into Kennebec County through the town of Fayette and into the town of Readfield where it concurs with SR 41 for 2.37 miles (3.81 km.)

It then leaves SR 41 and continues southeasterly into Manchester where it concurs with US 202, SR 11 and SR 100 into Augusta, passing over Interstate 95 and on into Augusta center, then concurrently with several other major routes (US 201 and US 202) over the bridge at Augusta on the Kennebec River. Once over the river it then turns south leaving all other routes except concurrent with SR 9 for a short distance before turning east and continuing into Windsor where it concurs with SR 32. It then continues southeasterly into Lincoln County at Whitefield and Jefferson where it leaves SR 32 and continues easterly through Somerville entering Knox County and intersecting first with SR 206 and then SR 220 at Washington.

Continuing easterly through Union where it concurs with SR 131 for a short distance before concurring with SR 235 for 2.78 miles (4.47 km) and then continuing on through Rockport intersecting SR 90 there. And finally on into Rockland, where it terminates at US 1 and 1A close to the waterfront port and the Atlantic Ocean.
