'''U.S. Route 277''' ('''US 277''', '''US-277''') is a north&ndash;south [[United States Highway]] that is a spur route of [[U.S. Route 77]]. It no longer connects to its parent route, US 77, although it does intersect another one of its spurs ([[U.S. Route 377]]). It runs for 633 miles (1,019&nbsp;km) across [[Oklahoma]] and [[Texas]]. 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 overlaps other U.S. highways. Those include [[U.S. 62]] from [[Newcastle, Oklahoma|Newcastle]] to [[Chickasha, Oklahoma|Chickasha]], Oklahoma, U.S. 62 and U.S. 281 from five miles (8&nbsp;km) west of [[Elgin, Oklahoma|Elgin]], Oklahoma, to [[Lawton, Oklahoma|Lawton]], U.S. 281 from Lawton to [[Wichita Falls, Texas|Wichita Falls]], Texas, U.S. 82 from Wichita Falls to Seymour, Texas, and U.S. 83 from [[Anson, Texas|Anson]], Texas to [[Abilene, Texas|Abilene]], Texas. Through the Lawton area and again from [[Randlett, Oklahoma|Randlett]], Oklahoma, to near downtown Wichita Falls, U.S. 277 is also co-signed with [[I-44]].

The highway begins at an intersection with [[U.S. Route 83 in Texas|US 83]] in [[Carrizo Springs, Texas|Carrizo Springs]], about 60 miles northwest of [[Laredo, Texas|Laredo]]. The highway runs in an east-west direction, until reaching [[Eagle Pass, Texas|Eagle Pass]]. From here to [[Del Rio, Texas|Del Rio]], the highway parallels the [[Rio Grande do Norte|Rio Grande]] at the [[U.S.-Mexico border]]. The highway overlaps [[U.S. Route 377 in Texas|US 377]] for about 26 miles, with the highways passing the [[Amistad National Recreation Area]].

US 277 crosses [[Interstate 10 in Texas|I-10]] near [[Sonora, Texas|Sonora]], before traveling to [[Eldorado, Texas|Eldorado]] and eventually [[San Angelo, Texas|San Angelo]]. The highway overlaps both [[U.S. Route 67 in Texas|US 67]] and [[U.S. Route 87 in Texas|US 87]] in the city. In [[Abilene, Texas|Abilene]], the highway overlaps with [[U.S. Route 83 in Texas|US 83]] and [[U.S. Route 84 in Texas|US 84]], with the latter leaving shortly after. US 83 leaves in [[Anson, Texas|Anson]], traveling to [[Aspermont, Texas|Aspermont]], while US 277 travels to [[Stamford, Texas|Stamford]]. In [[Seymour, Texas|Seymour]], [[U.S. Route 82 in Texas|US 82]] begins an overlap with US 277. The two highways enter the city of [[Wichita Falls, Texas|Wichita Falls]], with US 82 leaving the highway at [[U.S. Route 281 in Texas|US 281]]/[[U.S. Route 287 in Texas|US 287]]. US 277 joins US 281/287 and the three highways travel into the downtown area of the city, where [[Interstate 44 in Texas|I-44]] begins. US 287 leaves the freeway, while I-44/US 277/US 281 travel to [[Burkburnett, Texas|Burkburnett]], before crossing the [[Red River of the South|Red River]] into [[Oklahoma]].

===Oklahoma===
[[File:Southbound beginning US 277.jpg|left|thumb|First southbound sign for U.S. 277 in [[Newcastle, Oklahoma]] (US 277 sign has since been replaced with a newer version)]]
U.S 277 and 281 enter into Oklahoma with Interstate 44 from Texas by crossing the Red River. After six miles, U.S. 277-281 leave the H.E. Bailey Turnpike and run concurrently for three miles eastward with U.S. 70. On the outskirts of Randlett, this ends as U.S. 277-281 turn northward and pass under I-44 (with no interchange there) before entering Cookietown. North of [[Cookietown, Oklahoma|Cookietown]], U.S. 277-281 travel along [[Oklahoma State Highway 5|SH 5]]. Near the town of [[Geronimo, Oklahoma|Geronimo]], U.S. 277-281 join I-44 at Exit 30 to bypass [[Lawton, Oklahoma|Lawton]], but separate once again along with U.S. 62 north of the city at Exit 46. After a distance just under four miles, U.S. 277 separates from U.S. 62-281 and heads east for the town of [[Elgin, Oklahoma|Elgin]]. The route proceeds from there to serve several other towns bypassed by I-44, such as [[Fletcher, Oklahoma|Fletcher]], [[Cyril, Oklahoma|Cyril]], and [[Cement, Oklahoma|Cement]], crossing the turnpike twice without direct access. Entering the town of [[Chickasha, Oklahoma|Chickasha]] with [[U.S. Route 81|U.S. 81]], U.S. 277 turns east along U.S. 62 and follows it all the way to its northern terminus at I-44 near Newcastle.

From Newcastle to the Red River north of Wichita Falls, Texas, U.S. 277 (and concurrent sections of U.S. 62, U.S. 81 and U.S. 281) serves as an alternate free route to the two sections of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike between Oklahoma City and the Red River from Newcastle southwest of Oklahoma to near Medicine Park north of Lawton and from near Geronimo south of Lawton to Randlett just north of the Red River near Burkburnett, Texas.

==History==
{{Expand section|date=April 2015}}
{{One source section|date=April 2015}}
When US&nbsp;277 was commissioned in 1930, it ended at the [[Mexico–United States border]] in Del Rio, Texas. It was extended southeast to its present terminus in 1952. The original northern terminus was in [[Oklahoma City]] at its intersection with parent route [[U.S. Route 77|US&nbsp;77]] and [[U.S. Route 62|US&nbsp;62]]. The northern terminus remained there until 1964. when it was truncated to its present terminus following the completion of the [[H.E. Bailey Turnpike]] and the connecting US&nbsp;62 freeway into Oklahoma City, which would become [[Interstate 44|I-44]] in the 1980s. The section of highway through [[Wichita Falls, Texas|Wichita Falls]] was recently upgraded to a freeway. Known as Kell Boulevard, the freeway opened in late-2009/early-2010.

As of February 2010, US&nbsp;277 allows a speed limit of {{convert|75|mph|km/h}} only in [[Dimmit County, Texas|Dimmit County]], Texas.{{citation needed|date=April 2015}}

==Future==
On March 15, 2022, [[Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022|a bill]] was signed by President [[Joe Biden]] that added the extension of [[Interstate 27|I-27]] north to [[Raton, New Mexico]], and south to [[Laredo, Texas|Laredo]] to the Interstate Highway System. The extension would utilize the US 277 corridor between [[San Angelo, Texas|San Angelo]] and [[Carrizo Springs, Texas]].<ref>{{Cite news |first=Alex |last=Driggars |date=March 15, 2022 |title=Raton to Laredo corridor added to Interstate Highway System, paving way for I-27 expansion |url=https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/2022/03/15/lubbock-amarillo-interstate-27-expansion-gets-federal-designation-omnibus-bill/7052683001/ |access-date=March 17, 2022 |website=Lubbock Avalanche-Journal |language=en |archive-date=July 15, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220715184743/https://www.lubbockonline.com/story/news/2022/03/15/lubbock-amarillo-interstate-27-expansion-gets-federal-designation-omnibus-bill/7052683001/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Former Lawton business route===
{{unsourced section|date=December 2024}}
The former route of U.S. 277 (and 281) through the City of Lawton via 2nd Street and 11th Street (and a diagonal street connecting those two streets) has been designated as U.S. 281 Business since the completion of Lawton's Pioneer Expressway (now I-44) in 1964 from present I-44 Exit 39-B to Exit 33. Present U.S. 281 Business and former U.S. 277-281 follows 2nd Street south of I-44 (Exit 39B) into the downtown area and south of Lee Boulevard (Oklahoma 7), curves into the diagonal route to 11th Street and still locally designated by the City of Lawton as Highway 277 even though it is officially designated as U.S. 281 Business. From the end of the diagonal route at 11th and Tennessee Avenue south past the Lawton-Fort Sill Regional Airport to Exit 33 of Interstate 44, the former U.S. 277-281 and current U.S. Business 281 route follows 11th Street. South of this point, U.S. 281 Business ends/begins and current U.S. 277-281 continues to run concurrent with I-44 for another 3 miles to Exit 30 (the starting/ending point for the southern section of the H.E. Bailey Turnpike), bypassing 3 miles of the former U.S. 277-281 concurrency that followed 11th Street south of Lawton until the completion of the present I-44 route south of Lawton in 1964, when the former highway reverted to local jurisdiction. At Exit 31, Oklahoma 36 begins its route to Chattanooga and Grandfield west of I-44 while U.S. 277-281 uses the same route east of the interstate for a half-mile and turning south toward Geronimo, over the continuation of Lawton's 11th Street.
