County Road 17 , also known as the
Coastal Highway , is a
Norwegian highway that runs from
Bodø in
Nordland county (in the north) to
Steinkjer in
Nord-Trøndelag county (in the south). It is long and includes six ferry crossings. The road runs along the coast of
Nordland and
Nord-Trøndelag counties through 28 different municipalities. This road is a much more scenic, albeit longer and more time-consuming, route than the inland
European Route E6 highway.
