Route description
editSR 377 begins at an intersection with SR 195 in rural Lee County. It heads northwest, and curves to the north-northwest, to an intersection with SR 118, east of Smithville. The route continues to the north-northwest, crossing into Sumter County along the way, and meets its northern terminus, two intersections with US 280/SR 27/SR 30/SR 49, on one-way pairs, in Americus. The highway roughly parallels US 19/SR 3 for nearly its entire length.[1]
SR 377 is not part of the National Highway System, a system of roadways important to the nation's economy, defense, and mobility.[4]
History
editThe road that would eventually become SR 377 was built between 1957 and 1960, but only between SR 195 and SR 118.[5][6] By 1966, the road was extended to Americus.[7][8] By 1976, the entire road was designated as SR 377.[2][3]
