State Road 173 (SR 173), locally known as Blue Angel Parkway, is a major thoroughfare in the Pensacola, Florida metropolitan area.

SR 173, which is also known as Blue Angel Parkway for its entire length, curves away from its southern terminus at the western entrance to NAS Pensacola and runs northwest through the community of Sherman Grove, before crossing SR 292 and curving to head northeast through West Pensacola.

Just before reaching US 90/SR 10A, the road turns sharply east, crosses US 90/SR 10A, and terminates at its intersection with SR 297.

[2] The Florida Department of Transportation annual average daily traffic (AADT) numbers for 2012 show average numbers starting at 10,000 vehicles on the southern portion of the road, increasing to between 17,000 and 22,000 vehicles around SR 298, and again decreasing to 16,000 as the road approaches Bellview, hitting 14,000 vehicles per day at the road's northern terminus.

There are indications of ongoing construction to the south of US 98/SR 30, but very little roadway in that direction had been completed at the time.
