History

Hill County

Spur 117 was originally designated on February 4, 1941 as a spur connecting the town of Mount Calm to SH 31 in Hill County. That designation ended on February 21, 1952 when the former Spur 117 was incorporated into FM 1662 as an extension to that route. That route was combined with FM 737 on November 13, 1953, which in turn became an extension of the present FM 339 on July 15, 1971.

Bexar County

Spur 117 was designated on April 14, 1980 along a stretch of road that had not previously held a state highway designation. Spur 117 was proposed for decommissioning in 2014 as part of TXDOT's San Antonio turnback proposal, which would have turned back over 129 miles of roads to the city of San Antonio, but the city of San Antonio said no to that proposal.

Route description

Spur 117 begins at a junction with I-410 on the southeast side of San Antonio. The spur heads northwest along W.W. White Road for before ending at Loop 13.
