| − | '''A Northern section''' of Interstate 27 that would have '''no connection''' with the existing Texas section. The proposed I27 would start on I70 near Salina KS. and then head northwest to I80. I27 would run with I80 to North Platte NE. Then run parallel to US Route 83 and serve Johnstown NE, Winner SD, Pierre SD, Bismarck ND, and Minot ND. I27 would then continue North to Portal ND and the Canadian border. | + | '''A Northern section''' of Interstate 27 that would have '''no connection''' with the existing Texas section.

The proposed route has the interstate going from Lubbock (the current southern terminus) southward to Lamesa, then split into an eastern section going through Big Spring and a western section going through Midland, with the two sections reuniting at Sterling City, then continue through San Angelo and Del Rio, then along the border to Eagle Pass, then eastward to Carizzo Springs and finally ending at Laredo. |
