Notes

  • Although there are currently no spur routes off of I-27, there is a beltway around Lubbock and an accompanying spur highway from the southwest side. There are arguments that the beltway (currently signed as TX Secondary Route 289) should be renamed I-227 and the spur highway (currently signed as TX Secondary Route 327) I-327.
  • The Marsha Sharp Freeway through Lubbock, now under construction, is reportedly designed to Interstate standards and many Lubbock residents believe it, as well as TX SR 289 and TX SR 327, will receive Interstate designation as part of the Port-to-Plains project. However, state and federal officials do not comment to questions regarding the possible renaming or any other rumored projects, such as the Loop 1729 belway through rural Lubbock County similar to Loop 1604 in Bexar County.

Fictional References

  • In the video game Need For Speed: Underground 2, I-27 is the name given to the fictional city of Bayview's freeway system.

Musical references

  • There is a punk band from Oklahoma calling themselves Interstate 27.
