Photo: I-81 north at VA 177 (photo by Mapmikey 3/10/07)

From:  Bethel (Montgomery County) To:  City of Radford Total Length:  4.41 miles
ROUTE LOG I-81 (exit 109): 0.00 - 0.00 Radford-Montgomery Line: 2.33 - 2.33 US 11: 2.08 - 4.41		Creation:  Appeared in the April 1962 CTB defining the route from the ramps on the south side of I-81 to US 11. This was an upgrade to parts of SRs 638 and 600 and followed the paths of what had been parts of VA 102 and VA 110 twenty years earlier. This is the 2nd VA 177. Adjustments:  None Improvements:  Paved upon designation; 100% multilaned since 1992. Posting:  Fully posted; There is a VA 177 South posting at the SR 658 junction south of I-81, implying VA 177 exists on a short stub south of I-81. Multiplexes:  None Legislative names:  None Other names:  Tyler Ave Scenic Byway:  No segments Comment:  VA 177 provides easy access from I-81 southbound. VA 177 runs right through part of the Radford College campus. VA 177 first appeared explicitly on the 1966 Official. Current VA 177 1966 Official
Previous VA 177's: 1959 ROUTE LOG US 13: 0 - 0 VA 316: 1.74 - 1.74		VA 177 #1: Appeared in July 1933 as a renumbering of what I believe was VA 548. Ran from US 13 Accomac CH northwest through Greenbush to end at SR 661 Drummond Hill Rd. In March 1938 (CTB), VA 177 was extended north over SRs 661/672/673 to meet the west end of VA 176 Parksley. In Sept 1942 (CTB), VA 177 north was truncated to VA 316 Greenbush, leaving behind SR 763. This made sense as VA 177's route actually zig-zagged up and over to VA 316 again before curling around to the VA 176-316 junction in Parksley. At this time, VA 176, VA 177, and VA 316 all ended at the same intersection... In Jan 1959 (CTB), the rest of VA 177 was downgraded to SR 764. VA 177 #1 initial routing 1936 Accomack County VA 177 extended to Parksley 1940 Accomack County VA 176, VA 177, VA 316 all end at the same place 1940 Accomack County VA 177 truncated to VA 316 1958 Accomack County
