New York State Route 177 (NY 177) is an east–west

County Route 21 (CR 21), formerly part of NY 194
, at Barnes Corners. NY 177 originally began at US 11 when it was assigned in 1930. It was extended west to its present terminus in the 1950s following the construction of I-81.

NY 177 continues winding itself to the southeast through the town of Rodman, as a rural two-lane highway. After Williams Road, the route makes several bends in to the south and east, straightening out eastward at an intersection with the northern terminus of

CR 2 (Seven-by-Nine Road).[3] CR 21 is the former southern terminus of NY 194, a designation eliminated in 1980.[4]

After leaving Barnes Corners, NY 177 returns to being the two-lane rural roadway, progressing southeastward through the town of Pinckney. Despite the rural scenery, the route does enter the hamlet of New Boston and the junction with

Lowville, passing a few farms and wind turbines before bending into the hamlet of West Lowville. In West Lowville, NY 177 intersects with NY 12, which continues eastward to the village of Lowville. NY 177 terminates at this intersection.[3]

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]
