The western terminus of State Route 17 is the intersection of Brookpark Road and Lorain Road (State Route 10) adjacent to Great Northern Mall in North Olmsted. SR 17 follows Brookpark Road east and passes into Fairview Park and then Cleveland as it passes Cleveland Hopkins International Airport. After passing the airport, it enters Brook Park. At West 130th Street, Brookpark Road serves as a border, first between Brook Park and Cleveland, then Brooklyn and Parma, followed by Parma and Cleveland, and finally Brooklyn Heights and Cleveland. As the road crosses into Brooklyn Heights and crossed I-480 it is known as Granger Road, which continues into Independence and Garfield Heights. In Garfield Heights, Granger Road veers to the southeast, while SR 17 continues east onto Libby Road and into Maple Heights. After crossing into Bedford Heights, SR 17 turns to the northeast onto Bartlett Road. At Meuti Drive, just before passes under I-480, it is briefly cosigned with eastbound SR 43 until it meets its western terminus at Aurora Road (SR 43).
