History
The current PTH 27 has been in existence since 1968.[1] The highway was originally numbered as PTH 8A when it first opened in 1964.[2]
Prior to this, Highway 27, while still a short trunk highway, was located in the southwest part of the province. It was an unpaved highway which provided access to Rapid City between Highway 10 at Tremaine (previously this section was known as Highway 26) and PTH 16 (then known as Highway 4) at Basswood. The highway followed what is now PTH 24 and PR 270. The original length of Highway 27 was 29 km (18 mi).[3]
Highway 27 was shortened to 23 km (14 mi) in 1956 when the section between Tremaine and Rapid City was renumbered to its current PTH 24 designation.[4] The original Highway 27 was decommissioned in its entirety and redesignated as PR 270 in 1966.
