[edit] History
The current alignment of WV 17 was once part of U.S. Route 119. In 1998, US 119 was moved onto a new, four-lane alignment to the west, resulting in the redesignation of old US 119 as WV 17.[1]
This is the second alignment to carry this number. The original West Virginia Route 17 followed what is now U.S. Route 35 in Putnam and Mason counties.
