Wisconsin Highway 177 (WIS 177) was a state highway in Wisconsin, United States. It traveled from WIS 42 to Point Beach State Forest.
Route description
[edit]Starting at its western terminus, WIS 177 traveled eastward from WIS 42.[5] It then curved southeast and then back east again. Continuing east, it abruptly ended next to Lake Michigan.[3]
History
[edit]In 1951, WIS 177 was formed.[2] The route resembled a spur of WIS 42. It traveled from WIS 42 to the Point Beach State Forest.[2] During its existence, no significant changes were made. Around 1985, CTH-V extended east towards the state forest, superseding the whole of WIS 177.[3][4] The change remains like this to this day.
Major intersections
[edit]The entire highway was in Manitowoc County.
