Route 317 progresses to the north along Church Street passing Roxbury Congregational Church before turning to the northeast and intersecting with Painter Hill Road, where it changes name to Good Hill Road.

After Painter Hill, the surroundings become rural and bend to the southeast into the town of Woodbury.

After passing a few homes near the intersections of Lower and Upper County Road, the surroundings continue to be rural woodlands, passing a stretch of residential homes heading downhill into the swamplands nearby.

[2] At the three-way junction with Bacon Road, Route 317 turns to the east, passing through a large stretch of mixed surroundings.

At Whittlesey Road, Route 317 takes an even further curve to the southeast, entering the downtown portions of Woodbury.
