Route 177 is a 19.6 km (12.2 mi) long provincial highway in southwest New Brunswick, Canada. Its main purpose is to serve the town of Grand Bay-Westfield. Route 177 is a former alignment of Route 7.

The southern end of Route 177 is at Route 7 exit 90 at Crane Mountain in the city of Saint John. The road runs northeast to Westfield Road, the original road built along the Saint John River. The road serves the Westfield ferry to the Kingston Peninsula and intersects Route 102 in the centre of Westfield. This was Route 177's northern terminus until the construction of the Welsford Bypass. Then, Route 177 was extended through Sagwa, and Welsford to Route 7 exit 71.

History

Route 177 was part of Route 7 until the Grand Bay-Westfield areas were bypassed in the mid-1980s. As of October 2013, the route's northern terminus ended at Route 7 exit 71 near Welsford.
