C-17 or Eix del Congost is a primary highway in Catalonia, Spain. According to the 2004's new codification for primary highways managed by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the first number (C-17) indicates that is a south-northbound highway, whereas the second number (C-17) indicates that is the seventh westernmost.
It connects the city of Barcelona with Vic and Ripoll following the valleys of Congost and upper Ter rivers.
The highway starts at the Avinguda Meridiana in the centre of Barcelona heading north through the suburbs close to the Autopista C-33 before crossing the Autopista AP-7.
It passes to the west of Granollers before passing the Parc Natural del Montseny and the Ter river basin and Vic where it is crossed by the C-25 Eix Transversal. The road heads north towards the Pyrenees and ends at Ripoll.
At Ripoll the road becomes the N-152 onwards to Puigcerdà. There are also junctions with the N-260/C-26/A-26
