The N17 road is a national primary road in Ireland, and is part of the Atlantic Corridor route.[1] It begins in County Galway and ends in County Sligo. On 27 September 2017 the southern, Tuam–Galway, section was upgraded to motorway status and designated M17.[2]
In culture, the N17 road is featured in the song N17, released in 1991 by the Irish band The Saw Doctors.
