For close to a century, U.S. Highway 77 has been a major highway in Cowley County. For a good deal of its length in the county, it is a four-lane highway from the Oklahoma state line to the north side of Winfield. However, from the north side of Winfield onward to the Butler County line, it is merely a two-lane highway. “The possibility of a future four-lane expansion for this section has not been prioritized at this time. Local consult meetings, which are held periodically, with the next round anticipated this fall, are an opportunity for communities to share input on transportation needs,” said JB Wilson, public affairs officer for KDOT. “While the idea of a four-lane expansion has been mentioned in the past, current priorities focus on addressing other critical needs identified through public feedback and assessments. We welcome community participation in the consultation meetings to help shape future projects.”
