[edit] Termini
As of 2004, the highway's northern terminus is in Stroud, Oklahoma at an indeterminate point somewhere between old Route 66 and modern Interstate 44. It is co-signed with State Highway 99 for its entire Oklahoma length; OK-99 continues north into Kansas. The southern terminus is in Del Rio, Texas at an intersection with U.S. Highway 90 (after being co-signed with U.S. Route 277 for 20 miles, 32 km).
[edit] Historic termini
When US 377 was commissioned in 1930, US 77 connected Dallas, Texas with the north and south, but nearby Fort Worth lacked a direct northern connection. US 377 connected US 77 in Denton, Texas with US 81 in Fort Worth, Texas, creating a parallel route between Denton and Hillsboro, Texas, where US 81 met US 77. When the Interstate highway system was built, Interstate 35 paralleled the Dallas/Fort Worth split with routes I-35E through Dallas (along US 77) and I-35W through Fort Worth (along US 377 and US 81).
