Interstate Business Route 27
Interstate 27 has two active business routes. TxDOT assigned a suffixed to every Interstate Business Loop in the state. This distinguishes the various routes from one another in the Highway Designation File.

Serving the Hale County seat of Plainview, Business Loop I-27U follows old U.S. 87 east from IH 27 between Exits 45 and 53. The TxDOT certified mileage for the route is 9.282.
When U.S. 87 shifted to the freeway bypass west of the city, the former alignment was designated as U.S. 87 Business and then State Loop 445. Business Loop I-27 was established on January 14, 1991 in a mileage transfer from SL 445.
