'''Highway 27''' is a mostly north-south highway in western Arkansas. Its southern terminus at U.S. Highway 71 approximately {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=on}} south of [[Falls Chapel, Arkansas|Falls Chapel]]. It heads north through Nashville where soon after it merges with highway 26 which carries it into Murfreesboro, picking up highway 19 in Murfreesboro. Continuing north soon after it merges with U.S. 70 and Arkansas 84 which spilts off to the west in Salem, Arkansas. Highway 27 continues northeast following 70 into Glenwood where it jonis up with Highway 8 carrying it to Norman where 27 continues north once more to Mt. Ida. A short concurrency with U.S. 270 here before it heads north towards [[Dardanelle, Arkansas|Dardanelle]]. After picking up Highway 28 at Rover and Highway 10 at Danville. it continues north and ends at Highway 7 in Dardenelle. It begins again along Highway 7 at Dover and heads northeast to Hector where it turns north to Tilly where it merges with Highway 16. Soon after Tilly it turns southeast and enters Van Buren County before turning north to Marshall. From here it continues north to end in Harriet at Highway 14.
 
'''Arkansas Highway 27''' ('''AR 27''', '''Ark. 27''', and '''Hwy. 27''') is a designation for two north–south [[List of Arkansas state highways|state highway]]s in Arkansas. One route begins at [[U.S. Route 59|US&nbsp;Highway&nbsp;59]] (US&nbsp;59) and [[U.S. Route 71 in Arkansas|US&nbsp;71]] near [[Ben Lomond, Arkansas|Ben Lomond]] north to [[Arkansas Highway 7|Highway&nbsp;7]] in [[Dardanelle, Arkansas|Dardanelle]]. A second segment begins at Highway&nbsp;7 in [[Dover, Arkansas|Dover]] and runs north to [[Arkansas Highway 14|Highway 14]] at [[Harriet, Arkansas|Harriet]]. An original Arkansas state highway, Highway&nbsp;27 was created as one continuous route in 1926, but was split around [[Russellville, Arkansas|Russellville]] in 1961.
==State Highway 27 Business==
* [[Nashville, Arkansas]]
 
The designation also includes '''Highway 27 Business''', a [[business route]] in [[Nashville, Arkansas|Nashville]], and '''Highway 27N''', a former [[alternate route]] near Ben Lomond deleted in the 1990s. All highways are maintained by the [[Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department]] (AHTD).
==Highway 27N==
 
[[Image:Arkansas 27N.svg|50px|right]]
==Route description==
'''Highway 27N''' was a short east-west highway in southwest Arkansas. Its eastern terminus was at Arkansas Highway 27 east of [[Ben Lomond, Arkansas|Ben Lomond]] with its western terminus at [[U.S. Route 71]] {{convert|1|mi|km|adj=on}} south of [[Falls Chapel, Arkansas| Falls Chapel]]. In the 1990s Highway 27N was replaced by a realigned Highway 27.
[[File:Highway 27 southern terminus at US 59 and US 71.jpg|thumb|left|US 59/US 71 serves as the southern terminus of Highway 27 near Ben Lomond.]]
 
===Ben Lomond to Dardanelle===
AR 27 begins at [[U.S. Route 59|US 59]]/[[U.S. Route 71|US 71]] near [[Ben Lomond, Arkansas|Ben Lomond]]. The route runs east, meeting [[Arkansas Highway 317|AR 317]] before meeting [[Arkansas Highway 355|AR 355]] in [[Mineral Springs, Arkansas|Mineral Springs]]. The route continues to [[Nashville, Arkansas|Nashville]] where it meets [[U.S. Route 278|US 278]] and [[U.S. Route 371|US 371]]/[[Arkansas Highway 24|AR 24]]. North of Nashville, AR 27 meets [[Arkansas Highway 26|AR 26]] until [[Murfreesboro, Arkansas|Murfreesboro]], when it picks up [[Arkansas Highway 19|AR 19]].
 
The route winds north to meet [[U.S. Route 70 in Arkansas|US 70]]/[[Arkansas Highway 84|AR 84]] in [[Kirby, Arkansas|Kirby]]. AR 27 follows US 70 until [[Glenwood, Arkansas|Glenwood]], when it meets [[Arkansas Highway 8|AR 8]] and enters the [[Ouachita National Forest]]. The two routes run together until [[Norman, Arkansas|Norman]]. AR 27 continues northeast to [[U.S. Route 270|US 270]] in [[Mount Ida, Arkansas|Mt. Ida]], and then to [[Washita, Arkansas|Washita]] where it meets [[Arkansas Highway 298|AR 298]]. The route eventually leaves the forest near [[Rover, Arkansas|Rover]], which contains a junction with [[Arkansas Highway 28|AR 28]].
 
AR 27 meets [[Arkansas Highway 10|AR 10]] in [[Danville, Arkansas|Danville]] and continues north to [[Dardanelle, Arkansas|Dardanelle]]. The route meets [[Arkansas Highway 7|AR 7]]/[[Arkansas Highway 22|AR 22]]/[[Arkansas Highway 247|AR 247]] on the south edge of town. It then crosses the [[Arkansas River]] into [[Russellville, Arkansas|Russellville]], where it meets [[U.S. Route 64|US 64]] in downtown, and [[Interstate 40]] north of town.
 
===Dover to Harriet===
A concurrency with AR 7 ends in [[Dover, Arkansas|Dover]], with AR 27 turning right at Market Street.
 
The route winds northward for a stretch, eventually meeting [[Arkansas Highway 16|AR 16]] and [[Arkansas Highway 333|AR 333]] in rural [[Searcy County, Arkansas|Searcy County]]. AR 27 continues northeast to meet [[U.S. Route 65|US 65]]/[[Arkansas Highway 74|AR 74]] in [[Marshall, Arkansas|Marshall]]. After Marshall, the route trails north to [[Harriet, Arkansas|Harriet]], where it terminates at [[Arkansas Highway 14|AR 14]].
 
==History==
Highway&nbsp;27 was created during the [[1926 Arkansas state highway numbering]] as an original state highway between Ben Lomond and Harriet.<ref name="for" >{{cite map |author = Arkansas State Highway Commission |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/Trans_Plan_Policy/mapping_graphics/archived_tourist_maps/1926.TIF |format= TIF |title= Map of the State of Arkansas Showing System of State Highways |date= April 1, 1926 |publisher= Arkansas State Highway Commission |access-date= December 17, 2016 }}</ref> The segment between [[Arkansas Highway 28|Highway 28]] at [[Rover, Arkansas|Rover]] and [[Arkansas Highway 10|Highway 10]] in [[Danville, Arkansas|Danville]] was deleted in 1929, but it was restored in 1931.<ref>{{cite map |author = Arkansas State Highway Commission |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/Trans_Plan_Policy/mapping_graphics/archived_tourist_maps/1929.TIF |format= TIF |title= Map of State of Arkansas Showing Types of Roads |date= September 1, 1929 |publisher= Arkansas State Highway Commission |access-date= December 18, 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite map |author = Arkansas State Highway Commission |url= http://www.arkansashighways.com/Trans_Plan_Policy/mapping_graphics/archived_tourist_maps/1931.TIF |format= TIF |title= Official Highway Service Map |date= June 1, 1931 |publisher= Arkansas State Highway Commission |access-date= December 18, 2016 }}</ref>
 
Following construction of new terrain routes for Highway&nbsp;7 and Highway&nbsp;22, Highway&nbsp;27 was truncated at the new alignment of Highway&nbsp;7 in Dardanelle.<ref>{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 1282–1283}}.</ref> This action separated the highway into its two present-day sections.
 
The highway was in Marshall on March 11, 1954,<ref>{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 2101}}.</ref> in Mt. Ida on June 27, 1962.,<ref>{{harvp|"Minutes"|1953–1969|p= 1081–1082}}.</ref> between Hector and Tilly (approximately {{convert|20|mi|km|disp=sqbr}}) on March 24, 1971,<ref>{{harvp|"Minutes"|1970–1979|p= 1455}}.</ref> and between Ben Lomond and Mineral Springs on September 29, 1976.<ref>{{harvp|"Minutes"|1970–1979|p= 721}}.</ref>
