Route 117 is a 28.4-longNaN-long state route in the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Its western terminus is at Route 14 in Coventry, and its eastern terminus is at U.S. Route 1A (US 1A) in Cranston.
14.0 miles (22.5 km); Route 14 to West Warwick town line
1.8 miles (2.9 km); Coventry town line to Warwick city line
8.4 miles (13.5 km); West Warwick town line to Cranston city line
0.6 miles (1.0 km); Warwick city line to US 1A (Intersection of Warwick Avenue, Norwood Avenue and Broad Street)
Route 117 was one of the original Rhode Island State highways, instated in 1922. Its alignment has changed little since that time.
In the late 1990s, Route 117's eastern terminus was cut back. Originally, Route 117 stayed with Broad Street through Cranston and into Providence, ending at U.S. 1. The reason the eastern terminus was trimmed back is unclear.
Route 117 ends abruptly while concurrent with US 1A at the intersection of Broad Street, Warwick Avenue and Norwood Avenue. At this intersection, US 1A makes a turn off Broad Street onto Norwood Avenue while Route 117 ends.
