New Brunswick Route 177

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Route 177 is a provincial highway in the southwestern portion of the Canadian province of New Brunswick. Its main purpose is to serve the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield. Route 177 is a former alignment of Route 7 and is 19.6 kilometres long.

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 the Westfield Road, the original road built along the Saint John River. Route 177 is known as River Valley Drive in the former Town of Grand Bay, and Nerepis Road in the former Village of Westfield. In these sections, those street names are used for civic addresses. A small portion of the road that is in the Saint John City limits is officially called Westfield Road. The road serves the Westfield ferry to the Kingston Peninsula and intersects Route 102 in the centre of Westfield. Route 177's northern terminus is at Route 7 exit 71 near Welsford.

The road was part of Route 7 until the Grand Bay and Westfield areas were bypassed in the mid-1980s.
