U.S. Route 27 in Michigan - History

History

Since 2002, US 27 no longer exists 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 on divided highways to Grayling.

On August 19, 2010, the Michigan House of Representatives passed a resolution recognizing "Old US 27" as a historic road in the state.
