US 27US 27 currently begins in Fort Wayne at I-69 and proceeds south along the eastern edge of the state. It leaves Indiana into Ohio south of Richmond. It is four lanes (mostly divided) from I-69 to SR 124, and is multilane in Richmond and Portland. Much of the rest is a wide two lane primary road.US 27 once went all the way north to Mackinaw City, Michigan before being cut back, first to I-75 near Gaylord, then finally to its present endpoint at I-69 on the north side of Fort Wayne in 2002. South of Fort Wayne, US 27 serves as a primary highway down to Richmond then into Ohio. It ultimately ends in Miami, Florida passing through six states. |
