Route 117 is a state route in the U.S. State of Rhode Island .


ROUTE



HISTORY

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. Route 1 . The reason the eastern terminus was trimmed back is unclear.


NOTES

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.
