Until 1999, a truck bypass was signed around downtown Kissimmee. It began where US17/US92 formerly turned from John Young Parkway onto West Emmett Street and continued north in a straight line along John Young Parkway to US192, where it turned east until it returned to US17/US92 at North Main Street (OBT). The route existed from sometime during the 1980s until 1999, when US17/US92 itself was rerouted to bypass downtown Kissimmee.
U.S. Highway17 Truck (US17 Truck) is designated to divert overheight truck traffic away from a low railroad bridge that carries the SunRail rail line over US17/US92 in southern Maitland, Florida. The route follows SR423 (Lee Road), Interstate 4 (I-4), and SR414 (Maitland Boulevard) in Winter Park and Maitland. It formerly used Wymore Road and Lake Avenue (CR438A) instead of I-4 and SR414.

The road is designated as a spur of SR15[1] and was formerly numbered SR15A.[2] It has also been—and may still be—an unsigned U.S. Highway17 Alternate (US17 Alt.),[2] which originally continued east on I-10 and north on I-95 to return to US17 north of the Trout River.
US17 north at the interchange with the Roosevelt Expressway
Roosevelt Expressway is the bypass built as a spur of I-10, which converted US17 into a limited-access expressway north of Blanding Boulevard (SR21), bypassing the Post Street/College Street route that Roosevelt Boulevard used to travel through the Riverside and Avondale historic district, passing by McDuff Avenue (SR129) to I-10 eastbound. The expressway is accessible southbound via I-10 west as a left exit (exit361).[3]
The current design was preferred over the proposed River Oaks Freeway, which would have decimated the Avondale district. The partial interchanges with Blanding and I-10 reflect the nature of the original need of a bypass system. Intended to stimulate commerce and encourage connectivity to Jacksonville's downtown to and from the suburbs and Orange Park, while streamlining commutes and lessening the impact such travel was to potentially have on Jacksonville's oldest areas in the southwest side of town by removing high volume and chaotic redevelopment from the streets of Avondale and Lakeside Park, the area east of the Roosevelt Expressway is now protected in the form of a zoning overlay largely allowed by the basic design of this alternate route. Roosevelt Expressway has been signed in the last number of years as Roosevelt Boulevard, even though it's still in the Jacksonville Transportation Authority books as Expressway. It is part of the Blue Star Memorial Highway and named for President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In early 2006, the Florida Department of Transportation applied to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) to reroute US17 via the Roosevelt Expressway, I-10, I-95, and US23. If this is accepted, US17 Alt. will be eliminated. As of March 2007, it appears that US17 has been rerouted. US17 goes north on the Roosevelt Expressway, to east I-10 (SR8), north on I-95, and east on Union Street (US23) until Main Street and picking back up on its original course.[4]
Savannah alternate route
Quick Facts U.S. Highway 17 Alternate, Location ...
U.S. Highway17 Alternate (US17 Alt.) was an alternate route of US17 that existed entirely within the city limits of Savannah, Georgia. The roadway that would eventually become US17 Alt. was established between November 1946 and February 1948 as State Route25 Spur (SR25 Spur), from US17/SR25 on the western edge of the city to US17/US80/SR25/SR26 in the main part.[9][10] Between April 1949 and August 1950, it was then indicated to have started at US17/SR25 (Ogeechee Road), traveled east-southeast on 52nd Street, turned left on Whatley Avenue and traveled to the northeast, curved to the north-northeast onto Montgomery Street and traveled north-northeast to its northern terminus.[11][5] By the beginning of 1952, US17 Alt. was established on the path of SR25 Spur from US17/SR25 east-southeast on Mills B. Lane Boulevard, northeast on Whatley Avenue, and north-northeast on Montgomery Street, as previously.[5][6] In 1953, the path of US17 Alt. on SR25 Spur was redesignated as the northbound lanes of US17.[7][8]
U.S. Highway17 Alternate (US17 Alt.) was an alternate route of US17 that existed in Savannah, Georgia, and the southern part of South Carolina. It was concurrent with SR25 Alt. for its entire length in Georgia. Between June 1954 and June 1955, US17 Alt. and SR25 Alt. were established from an intersection with the southbound lanes of US17/SR25 (Ogeechee Road), north-northeast on Stiles Avenue, right onto Gwinnett Street to the east-southeast, and left onto Boundary Street to the north-northeast. The highways reached the South Carolina state line, where SR25 Alt. reached its northern terminus. US17 Alt. crossed over the Savannah River on a toll bridge. It curved to the northwest and reached its northern terminus, another intersection with US17.[12][13] In 1985, US17 Alt./SR25 Alt. was rerouted to begin at an interchange with I-516/US17/US80/SR21/SR25/SR26. It traveled east-southeast on Bay Street, turned right onto West Broad Street, traveled to the south-southwest, turned right onto York Street, traveled to the west-northwest, and turned right onto Boundary Street to continue as before.[16][17] In 1991, the path of US17 Alt./SR25 Alt. was redesignated as SR25 Connector (SR25 Conn.).[14][15]

U.S. Route17-1 (US17-1) was an original U.S. highway, established in 1926; in North Carolina, it was overlapped completely on NC40. It starts, in Wilmington, on 5th Street at Market Street (US17/NC20), where it goes north to Nixon Street, then east to McRae Street and proceeds north on Castle Haynes Road. At Wallace, it follows today's NC11 to Kenansville, then west, via today NC24 Bus./NC50, to Warsaw. Continuing north, it goes through Faison, Mount Olive, and through Goldsboro on George Street. Continuing north through Wilson, via Goldsboro Street and Herring Avenue, it connects Elm City, Rocky Mount, Battleboro, Halifax, and finally Weldon, via Washington and Sycamore avenues. Entering Virginia, it connects through Emporia before reaching Petersburg, via Sycamore Street, ending at Washington Street (US1).
In 1932, the entire route was renumbered, with most of the Wilmington–Wilson route to US117 and all of Wilson–Petersburg route to US301. Today, the entire route is paralleled with I-40 and I-95.
Wilmington business loop
Quick Facts U.S. Highway 17 Business, Location ...
U.S. Highway17 Business (US17 Bus.) is an 8.1-mile (13.0km)business route of US17 through Wilmington, North Carolina. While physically running in a primarily east–west pattern, US17 Bus. is signed as north–south, coherent with its parent route. Its southern terminus is located at an at-grade intersection between Third Street, Dawson Street, and the eastbound ramp of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge which carries US17, US76, and US421. From its terminus, US17 Bus. continues north along Third Street for 450 feet (140m), intersecting Wooster Street and the westbound ramp of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge. US17 Bus. continues north along Third Street through a residential area of downtown Wilmington. At Market Street, US17 Bus. turns to the east, following the street out of downtown Wilmington. Leaving downtown Wilmington along Market Street, US17 Bus. passes several historical sites including the Bellamy Mansion and First Baptist Church. Two pieces of artwork exist within the median of Market Street, including a monument to Cornelius Harnett at Fourth Street and a fountain located within the intersection with Fifth Street. The George Davis Monument formerly stood in the median of Market Street at the Third Street intersection but was dismantled in 2020. The median along Market Street ends at 16th Street and US17 Bus. passes through Market Street Mansion District which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. US17 Bus. continues to travel through residential areas of Wilmington until intersecting Covil Avenue, where some commercial business are located adjacent to the highway. By Kerr Avenue, the adjacent properties are primarily commercial and retail businesses. US17 Bus. meets US117 and NC132 at an partial cloverleaf interchange with College Road. The highway continues for 0.4 miles (0.64km) east-northeast until reaching US74 at Martin Luther King Jr. Parkway and Eastwood Road. US17 Bus. continues along Market Street for 2.6 miles (4.2km) through a primarily commercial area of Wilmington until reaching its northern terminus at US17.[36]
US 17 Bus. was established in 1971, two years after US17 was realigned onto new routing; it traversed 1.8 miles (2.9km) along 3rd and Market streets, between Dawson/Wooster and 16th/17th streets. Market Street was part of the original alignment but goes south instead of north along 3rd Street to meetup with US17.[37][38] In 1979, AASHTO officially recognized US 17 Bus.[39] In 2005, AASHTO approved the US17 Bus. extension upon completion of and realignment of US17 along the Wilmington Bypass (I-140). On June 30, 2006, when the Wilmington bypass opened, US17 Bus. replaced segments of US17: north along Market Street, between 16th/17th streets and near Futch Creek Road, and south crossing the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge to Eagle Island.[40][41] In May 2015, AASHTO approved a request to reroute US17 back through Wilmington, following US76 along Oleander Drive and Military Cutoff Road; the new alignment reduces the length of existing US17 Bus. to along 3rd and Market streets.[42] In May 2017, US17 Bus. was officially reduced as approved by AASHTO.[43]
U.S. Highway17 Truck (US17 Truck) in Wilmington, North Carolina, used the one-way pairs of Dawson and Wooster streets (from 16th and 17th streets to Oleander Drive). Continuing east, it then used Oleander Drive and north along Military Cutoff Road before rejoining then mainline US17 at Market Street. Mainline US17 at the time used the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge, then split with Dawson and Wooster Streets until reaching 16th and 17th streets. Mainline US17 then used 16th and 17th streets back to Market Street. Once Mainline US17 was moved to I-140 in 2005, the truck route through Wilmington was deleted.
