Review:
U.S. 177 runs almost its entire length in the state of Oklahoma.
It begins at U.S. 70/OK 199 in Madill, and ends about four miles
north of the state line in South Haven, Kansas. Its first 15
miles are duplexed with OK 199 (former U.S. 70). In Dickson, U.S.
177 heads north on its own. The largest towns U.S. 177 travels
through are Shawnee and Stillwater, home of Oklahoma State
University. U.S. 177 has two interchanges with U.S. 412/Cimarron
Turnpike-one is at the spur from the mainline turnpike, and one
is 14 miles north of there at the actual turnpike. Just south of
Ponca City, U.S. 177 heads west with U.S. 60 and U.S. 77 South
and the three highways are duplexed for 12 miles. U.S. 77 heads
south at the same interchange off U.S. 60 that U.S. 177 heads
north. U.S. 177 crosses Interstate 35 four miles south of the
state line and less than ten miles later, U.S. 177 finds its
northern end at U.S. 81 in South Haven, Kansas.
The route of U.S. 177
was once much shorter. It started at where the U.S. 77/OK 156
intersection is now south of Tonkawa but the highway's northern
terminus was still in South Haven. At that time, U.S. 77 went
along what is now OK 156 to get to Ponca City, and U.S. 177
continued straight north from that intersection. U.S. 177 was
then extended along U.S. 60 East between Tonkawa and Ponca City,
and then extended south along parts of what were then OK 40 and
OK 18. OK 18 now ends at U.S. 177 in Shawnee, whereas it once
ended at U.S. 70 in Dickson. U.S. 70 was rerouted to the south a
couple miles, however, and the old U.S. 70 became OK 199. U.S.
177 runs along OK 199 for its first 15 miles between the current
U.S. 70 and the old U.S. 70, then continues north along old OK 18
to Shawnee, then between Shawnee and Ponca City, current U.S. 177
runs along old OK 40. One lettered spur off old OK 40 remains,
and that is the 1/4 mile long OK 40A, which leads to the town of
Carney and is the shortest signed state highway in Oklahoma.
