Route description
SD 17 just north of its southern terminus in Lennox, March 2013

SD 17 begins at an intersection with SD 44 and 280th St one mile south of Lennox, in the west-central part of Lincoln County. It travels to the north, concurrent with SD 44, for one mile until SD 44 departs to the west. SD 17 then enters the city of Lennox. It intersects the eastern terminus of Fourth Avenue, which is signed as a "city truck route". North of Second Avenue, the highway crosses over some railroad tracks of BNSF Railway. At an intersection with the eastern terminus of Boynton Avenue and the western terminus of County Road 122 (CR 122; 278th Street), SD 17 meets its northern terminus.[2]

History

The original SD 17 was established in 1926, from west of Milbank to Peever. This became part of SD 15 by 1929 when it extended north.[3] The current SD 17 was established by 1929. It originally began at an intersection with what is now SD 46 near Centerville. This segment was decommissioned in the 1990s.

In 2018, the South Dakota State Legislature removed the portion of SD 17 that ran from its current northern terminus up to SD 42 from the state highway system and turned it over to local control [4]
