[3] NY 177 continues winding itself to the southeast through the town of Rodman, as a rural two-lane highway.

After Williams Road, the route makes several bends in to the south and east, straightening out eastward at an intersection with the northern terminus of CR 95.

[4] After leaving Barnes Corners, NY 177 returns to being the two-lane rural roadway, progressing southeastward through the town of Pinckney.

Despite the rural scenery, the route does enter the hamlet of New Boston and the junction with CR 23 (Liberty Road).

Passing a few farms, the route turns to the northeast near Mile Square Road, and enters the hamlet of Bellwood, within the town of Harrisburg.

[2] When the portion of I-81 near Adams Center was completed in the late 1950s,[5][6] NY 177 was extended westward over a county-maintained highway to meet the new expressway at exit 42.
