This at grade highway has been largely superseded by Interstate 75, which follows a roughly similar route and in some places actually replaced the older highway. In the northern portion, parts of Highway 27 were replaced by and now are part of Interstate 69. In many places the route markers and the highway itself serve to connect local communities bypassed by the Interstate Highway. In Chattanooga, Tennessee, this highway was once signed as I-124; though the road is still officially classified as an Interstate Highway, it is no longer signed as such.http://www.interstate-guide.com/i-124_tn.html
