Oregon Highway 217 is an Oregon state highway which serves the western suburbs of Portland. Oregon 217 is a limited-access freeway which connects U.S. Highway 26 with Interstate 5.

Description

The entirety of Oregon 217 is a two-lane freeway, with a third weave lane for exiting and merging, with the exception of its two termini.

The northern terminus of Oregon 217 is an interchange with US 26, at that point a freeway known as the Sunset Highway. Oregon 217 proceeds south, through the suburbs of Beaverton and Tigard. The southern terminus of Oregon 217 is an interchange with I-5.

At either termini, commuters heading toward the terminus will find themselves on surface streets if they fail to exit. Indeed, southbound travelers wishing to get onto northbound I-5 have to turn left at a traffic signal; southbound travelers of I-5 wishing to become northbound travelers of Oregon 217 must turn right at a traffic signal at the end of the off-ramp.

Traffic on Oregon 217 is frequently heavy, especially during rush hour.
