Highway 17A is a 6 km (3.7 mi) long route connecting Highway 99 and Highway 17; this route was originally numbered Highway 17 between these two points but the numbering was altered once the South Fraser Perimeter Road neared completion (on December 1, 2012).^[1]

Beginning at its interchange with Highway 17, Highway 17A proceeds due north as a 4-lane expressway. 4 km (2.5 mi) after the dual-interchanges with Highway 17 and Deltaport Way, the expressway reaches a junction with Ladner Trunk Road at Ladner; 2 km (1.24 mi), Highway 17A finally terminates at the on-ramp to Highway 99. It terminates and continues at its northern end as 62b Street which becomes River Road, a secondary connector from South Delta to North Delta which passes Tilbury Industrial Park. Trucks are no longer permitted to travel on Highway 17A except for local delivery, as the newer Highway 17 expressway was partly intended to keep trucks out of Ladner and provide a traffic-light free connection between Highway 99 and Deltaport, which is expecting huge expansion in the near future.
