Indiana State Road 127
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
State Road 127 is a short north-south highway in northeast corner of the U.S. state of Indiana between State Road 120 and U.S. Highway 20 in Angola, Indiana. Its present length was formerly a part of old U.S. Highway 27, whose designation was moved to the new Interstate 69 when the freeway was completed in northern Indiana in 1967.
Indiana 127 is in fact a "child" of U.S. 27; however, Indiana decommissioned all of U.S. 27 north of Fort Wayne, so Indiana 127 no longer connects with U.S. 27 anywhere. It functions in part to connect Indiana 120 to Interstate 69 and, south of its interchange with Interstate 69, it provides a local thoroughfare into Angola. The last several miles of Indiana 127 north of Angola's town square are crowded with fast-food franchises and other national chains.
Indiana 127 also provides access, through the very short State Road 727, to Pokagon State Park.
