History
NY 177 was assigned as part of the 1930 renumbering of state highways in New York. It originally extended from US 11 in Adams Center to NY 12 west of the village of Lowville.[2] When the portion of I-81 near Adams Center was completed in the late 1950s,[5][6] NY 177 was extended westward over a county-maintained highway to meet the new expressway at exit 42.[7] On August 1, 1979, ownership and maintenance of NY 177 between I-81 and US 11 was transferred from Jefferson County to the state of New York as part of a highway maintenance swap between the two levels of government.[8]
