There are two portions of SR 27 that are part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense:
- The segment from Richland to Americus, concurrent with US 280[3]
- The segment from Hawkinsville to its eastern terminus, concurrent with US 341[3][4]
History
1920s
SR 27 was established at least as early as 1919 from Hawkinsville to a point northwest of Brunswick. It was also designated south-southwest and curved to the southeast to end at
1930s
By the middle of 1930, SR 28 was extended northeast to Hawkinsville. The entire Glynn County portion of US 341/SR 27 had a completed hard surface. A portion of SR 28 east-southeast of Preston, as well as the McRae–Lumber City segment and Wayne County portion of the Baxley–Jesup segment of US 341/SR 27, had a sand clay or top soil surface. A portion of SR 28 west-northwest of Preston was under construction.[7][8] By the end of the year, a portion of US 341/SR 27 east-southeast of Baxley had a sand clay or top soil surface. SR 28's segment between Richland and Preston, as well as the Dooly County portion of the Eastman–McRae segment of US 341/SR 27, and a portion of those highways northwest of the Wayne–Glynn county line, was under construction.[8][9] By the end of 1931, US 280 was designated on SR 28 between Richland and Americus. Three segments of US 341/SR 27 had a completed hard surface: from Hawkinsville to Eastman, from northwest of McRae to Hazlehurst, and from east-southeast of Hazlehurst to Baxley. Two segments of those highways were under construction: from Eastman to northwest of McRae and a portion east-southeast of Hazlehurst.[9][10] In April 1932, the Hazlehurst–Baxley segment of US 341/SR 27 had a completed hard surface.[11][12] By the beginning of August, their segment between Eastman to McRae was also completed.[12][13] In September, the Vienna–Hawkinsville segment of SR 28 had a sand clay or top soil surface.[14][15] Late in 1934, the northern half of the Appling County portion of the Baxley–Jesup segment of US 341/SR 27, as well as a small portion east of the Appling–Wayne county line, had a completed hard surface.[16][17] In the second quarter of 1935, two segments of US 341/SR 27 had a completed hard surface: from Baxley to just east of the Appling–Wayne county line and nearly the entire Wayne County portion of the Baxley–Jesup segment. A small portion east-southeast of the Appling–Wayne county line had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[18][19] By the beginning of October, the entire Wayne County portion of the Baxley–Jesup segment had a completed hard surface. A portion just west of the Appling–Wayne county line was under construction.[19][20] By the end of the year, from Baxley to a point southeast of Jesup, US 341/SR 27 had a completed hard surface.[20][21] Near the end of the year, from Richland to just west of the Webster–Sumter county line, SR 28 was under construction.[22][23] The year ended with two additional changes to SR 28. From northwest of Preston to east-southeast of it, the highway had a completed hard surface. From Richland to northwest of Preston, it had a sand clay or top soil surface.[23][24] In the first quarter of 1937, a portion of SR 28 in the southwestern part of Hawkinsville had a completed hard surface. It was under construction from just east of the Dooly–Pulaski county line to southwest of Hawkinsville.[25][26] In the third quarter of the year, the entire Jesup–Brunswick segment had a completed hard surface.[26][27] At the end of the year, the entire length of SR 28 was redesignated as a western extension of SR 27. From the Dooly–Pulaski county line to southwest of Hawkinsville, the highway had completed grading, but was not surfaced. The western half of the Lumpkin–Richland segment was under construction.[27][28] In 1938, from east-southeast of Preston to east of the Webster–Sumter county line, SR 27 was under construction.[28][29] By the middle of 1939, US 25 was extended southward, onto the Jesup–Brunswick segment of US 341/SR 27. The western part of the Lumpkin–Richland segment had a completed hard surface, while the central part of it had completed grading, but was not surfaced. A portion east of Americus was under construction.[29][30] In the third quarter of the year, this segment had completed grading, but was not surfaced.[30][31] At the end of the year, a portion just west of the Dooly–Pulaski county line was under construction.[31][32]
1940s to 1990s
In the first quarter of 1940, the entire Preston–Americus segment had a completed hard surface.
