'''U.S. Route 177''' ('''US-177''') is a spur of [[U.S. Route 77]]. It currently runs for 233 miles (375&nbsp;km) from [[South Haven, Kansas]] at [[U.S. Route 81 in Kansas|US-81]] to [[Madill, Oklahoma]] at [[U.S. Highway 70 in Oklahoma|US-70]]. It passes through the states of [[Kansas]] and [[Oklahoma]].

==Route description==

===Oklahoma===
[[Image:Us177send.jpg|thumb|left|US-177's southern terminus near Madill, Oklahoma]]
US-177 begins [[concurrency (road)|concurrent]] with [[Oklahoma State Highway 199|State Highway 199]] at the [[U.S. Highway 70 (Oklahoma)|US-70]] junction near [[Madill, Oklahoma]]. From this point, it heads northwest, serving as the southern terminus of [[State Highway 1 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 1]] and the [[main street]] of [[Mannsville, Oklahoma|Mannsville]]. The route turns northward in [[Dickson, Oklahoma|Dickson]], where it splits from SH-199. East of [[Gene Autry, Oklahoma|Gene Autry]], it is the eastern end of [[Oklahoma State Highway 53|SH-53]]. US-177 then runs through the [[Chickasaw National Recreation Area]] and the town of [[Sulphur, Oklahoma|Sulphur]], where it has a brief concurrency with [[Oklahoma State Highway 7|SH-7]]. On the north side of Sulphur lies an interchange with the [[Chickasaw Turnpike]].

US-177 continues north into western [[Garvin County, Oklahoma|Garvin County]], serving as the eastern terminus of [[Oklahoma State Highway 29|SH-29]] and crossing [[Oklahoma State Highway 19|SH-19]] in [[Stratford, Oklahoma|Stratford]]. The route then cuts across the narrow eastern tip of [[McClain County, Oklahoma|McClain County]], where it begins concurrencies with both [[State Highway 59 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 59]] and [[State Highway 3W (Oklahoma)|State Highway 3W]]. The three highways then cross the [[Canadian River]] into [[Pottawatomie County, Oklahoma|Pottawatomie County]], where they meet [[Oklahoma State Highway 39|SH-39]] at a [[four-way stop]] in [[Asher, Oklahoma|Asher]].

Near unincorporated [[Pearson, Oklahoma|Pearson]], SH-59 splits off to the east. US-177/SH-3W continue north to [[Tecumseh, Oklahoma|Tecumseh]], where they have an interchange with [[Oklahoma State Highway 9|SH-9]]. At this interchange, [[U.S. Highway 270 (Oklahoma)|US-270]] joins the concurrency. The three highways run along the west side of [[Shawnee, Oklahoma|Shawnee]]. At the [[Interstate 40 (Oklahoma)|Interstate 40]] interchange, SH-3W reunites with SH-3E, and the unified SH-3 (along with US-270) follows I-40. US-177 continues northward alone.

After crossing into [[Lincoln County, Oklahoma|Lincoln County]], US-177 meets [[U.S. Highway 62 (Oklahoma)|US-62]] in [[Jacktown, Oklahoma|Jacktown]]. Just west of [[Warwick, Oklahoma|Warwick]], it meets [[Oklahoma State Highway 66|SH-66]] (old [[U.S. Route 66|Route 66]]), and then passes under [[Interstate 44 (Oklahoma)|Interstate 44]] (the [[Turner Turnpike]]), with no interchange. I-44 is accessed through the SH-66 – [[Wellston, Oklahoma|Wellston]] (Exit 157) interchange. US-177 then continues north, connecting to the town of [[Carney, Oklahoma|Carney]] via [[Oklahoma State Highway 40A|SH-40A]], the shortest state highway in Oklahoma. West of [[Tryon, Oklahoma|Tryon]], it intersects [[State Highway 105 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 105]]. It then enters [[Payne County, Oklahoma|Payne County]] just south of the [[Cimarron River (Arkansas River)|Cimarron River]].

In Payne County, US-177 almost immediately passes through the town of [[Perkins, Oklahoma|Perkins]]. North of that community, it has a one-mile (1.6&nbsp;km) concurrency with [[State Highway 33 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 33]]. It then passes through the [[county seat]], [[Stillwater, Oklahoma|Stillwater]], the home of [[Oklahoma State University]]. There, it intersects [[Oklahoma State Highway 51|SH-51]]. North of Stillwater, it serves as the western terminus of the [[Cimarron Turnpike]] Spur. Farther north, in [[Noble County, Oklahoma|Noble County]], it crosses [[U.S. Highway 64 (Oklahoma)|US-64]] and the mainline of the Cimarron Turnpike. It then has a four&nbsp;mile (6.4&nbsp;km) concurrency with [[State Highway 15 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 15]].

US-177 then enters its final county in Oklahoma, [[Kay County, Oklahoma|Kay County]]. It serves [[Ponca City, Oklahoma|Ponca City]], where it begins a [[wrong-way concurrency]] with its parent, US-77, as well as US-60 (which is signed the "correct" direction). The routes split near [[Tonkawa, Oklahoma|Tonkawa]]. US-177 then runs through [[Blackwell, Oklahoma|Blackwell]] and [[Braman, Oklahoma|Braman]]. North of Braman, the route is the northernmost exit on [[Interstate 35 in Oklahoma]]. Six&nbsp;miles (9.7&nbsp;km) after the I-35 junction, US-177 leaves Oklahoma.

===Kansas===

[[Image:US 177 northern terminus.jpg|thumb|right|US-177's northern terminus in South Haven, Kansas]]
US-177 then enters [[Sumner County, Kansas]] near [[Hunnewell, Kansas|Hunnewell]]. Only 4&nbsp;mi (6.4&nbsp;km) north of the state line, US-177 ends at [[U.S. Route 81 (Kansas)|US-81]] in downtown [[South Haven, Kansas]]. The terminus is less than a mile from the western terminus of [[U.S. Route 166 (Kansas)|US-166]] (also on US-81) north of town.

==History==
Originally, the highway functioned as a shortcut for [[Wichita, Kansas|Wichita]] to [[Oklahoma City, Oklahoma|Oklahoma City]] traffic traveling between US-81 at South Haven, KS and US-77 at [[Three Sands Jct, Oklahoma]] (where US-77 and [[State Highway 156 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 156]] intersect outside [[Marland, Oklahoma]] today).

During the 1960s, the highway was extended south to Madill, Oklahoma, replacing the entire length of [[State Highway 40 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 40]] from [[Ponca City, Oklahoma]] to then-[[U.S. Highway 66 (Oklahoma)|US-66]] (near [[Wellston, Oklahoma]]) and the portion of [[State Highway 18 (Oklahoma)|State Highway 18]] between [[Shawnee, Oklahoma]] and [[Madill, Oklahoma]] (the segment between US-66 and Shawnee was constructed at this time).  Vestiages of these highways remain in spur routes [[State Highway 40A (Oklahoma)|State Highway 40A]], located entirely in [[Carney, Oklahoma]] and [[State Highway 18A (Oklahoma)|State Highway 18A]], located south of [[Sulphur, Oklahoma]].

During this extension, the alignments of US-77 and US-177 were altered in North Central Oklahoma as follows:

US-77 was relocated to run north from Three Sands Jct to [[Tonkawa, Oklahoma]] on the former route of US-177, then east on [[U.S. Highway 60 (Oklahoma)|US-60]] to [[Ponca City, Oklahoma]].  This also involved a new US-60 alignment between [[Tonkawa, Oklahoma]] and [[Ponca City, Oklahoma]], where US-60, US-77, and US-177 all [[overlap (road)|overlap]] on the same highway (which results in northbound US-77, eastbound US-60, and southbound US-177 traffic running in the same compass direction: east).
