State Route 117 (SR-117) is a state highway in the U.S. state of Utah, connecting Wales and Mount Pleasant in Sanpete County. Running for 12.19 miles (19.62 km) as a two-lane highway, the road was originally placed under state jurisdiction in 1935 (as SR-30), but renumbered to its current designation in 1966.
State Route 117 begins on 200 North at the intersection of 200 West in Wales, travelling east for two blocks before turning south on State Street. After less than 1 mile (1.6 km), it leaves the southern end of Wales, the road turns again to the east for approximately 7.4 miles (11.9 km), passing through the town of Chester and crossing US-89 before entering Spring City along 300 North. In Spring City, the route turns north on Main Street, turning to the northeast after about 0.5 miles (0.80 km), continuing this direction for about 3 miles (4.8 km) before terminating at US-89 in Mount Pleasant, directly opposite the Mount Pleasant Airport.
This route was originally part of former State Route 30, a somewhat longer route which was designated as running from Fountain Green on former SR-11 (also known as U.S. Route 89A), south through Freedom and Wales, then east through Chester and Spring City, then northeast to former SR-32 (US-89) in Mount Pleasant.
