West Virginia Route 817 follows the former path of U.S. Route 35 along the Kanawha River from St. Albans, West Virginia to Winfield, West Virginia. The route was first signed on October 10, 2008, the day when a new section of US 35 opened to replace this stretch of road. While US 35 formerly ended at U.S. Route 60, its new path ends at Interstate 64.

WV 817 was numbered in homage of the original West Virginia Route 17, which followed the same road. The earlier WV 17 was eliminated after the collapse of the Silver Bridge necessitated that US 35 be shifted from the other side of the Kanawha River.
