Route description

Highway 117 begins at the western end of the Fort Peck Dam, in a tightly angled junction with Highway 24. It proceeds eastwards, winding its way through the town of Fort Peck before turning northwards at a T-intersection on its northern outskirts. The road then proceeds past the Missouri River on its right, and heads in a generally northeasterly orientation. After crossing the Milk River, Highway 117 enters Nashua from the southwest and curves east, before taking a left turn and crossing the BNSF Railway's Northern Transcon, linking the two halves of Nashua together. Soon, the road meets U.S. Route 2 on the town's northern side and terminates.[2]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Valley County.
