Indiana State Highway 127

Indiana State Highway 127 is a very short north-south highway in northeast of the U.S. state of Indiana between Indiana State Highway 120 and U.S. Highway 20 in Angola, Indiana. All of it was part of old U.S. Highway 27, whose designation was moved to the new freeway Interstate 69 when the freeway was completed in northern Indiana in 1967.
A road is a strip of land, smoothed or otherwise prepared to allow easier travel, connecting two or more destinations.
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 functions much like a typical Interstate business loop, except that Indiana does not designate any Interstate "business loops".
Indiana 127 provides access, through the very short Indiana State Highway 727, to Pokagon State Park.
