Route Description
editState Route 177 runs northwesterly through Butler and Preble Counties. No segment of the highway is included within the National Highway System.[2] State Route 177 is a two-lane highway, that goes through farm land mostly.[3] The speed limit is 55mph in most sections of the highway, slowing down for small towns.[3]
History
editState Route 177 was first designated in 1934 along its current alignment, replacing what was previously designated as State Route 224. The re-designation came as a result of the debut of U.S. Route 224 in Ohio that year, and the state's practice of not duplicating a state route designation for a U.S. highway designation. No changes have taken place to the routing of State Route 177 since it was established.[4][5]
