MD 317 begins at an intersection with MD 313 (Greensboro Road) in Oil City. The state highway heads east as a two-lane undivided road through farmland. MD 317 crosses Webber Branch before the old alignment, Ruritan Road, splits to the northeast as the highway approaches Burrsville. The old alignment, now part of Knife Box Road, crosses MD 317 again shortly before the route comes to its eastern terminus at the Delaware state line. The highway continues east as DE 14 (Vernon Road) toward the city of Harrington.[1][2]

History

MD 317 was paved in 1925 and 1926 along its whole length.[3][4] The state highway originally performed an S-curve through Burrsville, following present day Ruritan Road and Knife Box Road, the latter of which was designated MD 457 north of MD 317 between 1951 and 1960.[5][6] MD 317 was constructed on its present straight alignment through Burrsville around 1960.[6]
