It then crosses the Wolf River where the speed limit rises to 50 and passes back into Memphis through the Cordova community.

Beginning at the U.S. 72/State Route 57 intersection, 177 turns from a two-lane road into a six-lane, divided highway, and continues in this form through to its north terminus, and from the Wolf River bridge until the I-40 junction, the road is six-lane and has 10-foot-wide (3.0 m) paved outside shoulders on both sides, which only occasionally give way to a fourth lane or a right-turn lane.
