End of historic US highway 117 [i] |
US 117 measured approx. 150 miles in total length.
|
In 1931 the east end was truncated to Franklin, and in 1933 US 117 was completely decommissioned (when it was replaced by US 158). That same year, a second US 117 was designated in North Carolina; that is the same US 117 that still exists today.
