U.S. Route 27 in Michigan

U.S. Route 27 in Michigan

Old 27 is the former alignment of the old US 27 that was bypassed by freeways built in Michigan. Interstate highways and other freeways do not feature driveways or other ways to directly access property along the roadway. Before the construction and designation of I-75 in the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan, US 27 was the main highway north from Grayling to Cheboygan. For a time, US 27 even extended from Cheboygan to St. Ignace over the Mackinac Bridge.cite web | author= Bessert, Christopher J. | title=Michigan Highways: Highways 20 through 29 | date=2006-04-23 | work=Michigan Highways | url= http://www.michiganhighways.org/listings/MichHwys20-29.html#M-027 | accessdate=2006-12-15 ] This segment of highway runs between Grayling and I-75 north of Indian River (continuing on as M-27 northward).

Route description

At the time US 27 was removed from Michigan, it followed I-69 north from the state to Lansing. US 127 replaced it from Lansing to Grayling. North of Grayling US 27 followed county roads paralleling today's modern I-75 freeway through Gaylord to Indian River. M-27 replaced US 27 to Cheboygan. US 27 ran concurrently with US 23 to Mackinac City from 1937-1961.

History

Since 2002, US 27 is no longer signed in Michigan. To eliminate the concurrency with I-69, US 27 was truncated at Fort Wayne, Indiana. From Lansing north, US 127 was extended northward over the US 27 freeway and divided highway segments to Grayling.cite web | author= Bessert, Christopher J. | title=Michigan Highways: Historic US-27 | date=2006-09-25 | work=Michigan Highways | url= http://www.michiganhighways.org/listings/HistoricUS-027.html | accessdate=2006-12-15 ]
