Farm to Market Road 677 (FM 677) is a farm to market road in Montague County, Texas.[1]
Contents |
FM 677 is one of the longest farm to market roads in Montague County, and is a two-lane route for its entire length. It begins in Forestburg at a junction with FM 477.[2] It travels northward through the rural eastern part of the county, reaching St. Jo and an intersection with US 82. It continues northward, through the unincorporated communities of Capps Corner and Illinois Bend, close to the Cooke County line.[3] It briefly turns to the west before resuming its northward journey toward the Red River. The FM 677 designation ends as the route crosses into Love County, Oklahoma across the Taovoyas Indian Bridge; the roadway continues as Oklahoma State Highway 89.[1]
A spur of FM 677 exists in Illinois Bend, traveling northward from mainline FM 677 approximately 0.268 mi (0.431 km). It is signed as Spur 677 using the traditional state highway spur marker.[1]
FM 677 was first designated in 1946; the originally routing was northward from St. Jo approximately 5.3 mi (8.5 km). It was extended in both directions in 1951, and again southward in 1952, to Hardy near the FM 1630 intersection.[4] The route's designation was extended further northward to Capps Corner in 1953 and to Illinois Bend in 1954; the latter year also so the lengthening to Forestburg. The connection to Oklahoma was made in 1958, and the concurrency with US 82 in St. Jo was made official in 1964.[1]
While the designation file indicates that the route enters Cooke County, this contradicts the information in TxDOT's planning file.[1][3]
The entire route is in Montague County.
