Termini


As of 2006, US 277's northern terminus is in Newcastle, Oklahoma at Interstate 44, which is also the northern terminus of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike. Its southern terminus is in Carrizo Springs, Texas at U.S. Route 83. It passes through the states of Oklahoma and Texas.
Most of U.S. 277's route through the two states is duplexed or multiplexed with other U.S. highways. Those include U.S. 62 from Newcastle to Chickasha, Oklahoma, U.S. 62 and U.S. 281 from five miles west of Elgin, Oklahoma to Lawton, U.S. 281 from Lawton to Wichita Falls, Texas, U.S. 82 from Wichita Falls to Seymour, Texas, and U.S. 83 from Anson, Texas to Abilene, Texas. Through the Lawton area and again from Randlett, Oklahoma to near downtown Wichita Falls, U.S. 277 is also co-signed with I-44.

Historic termini


When US 277 was commissioned in 1930, it ended at the U.S.-Mexico border in Del Rio, Texas. It was extended southeast to its present terminus in 1952.
