Farm to Market Road 1327 (FM 1327) is a 7.3-mile (11.7 km) farm to market road in southern Travis County, Texas.[1]

Route description

FM 1327 begins at Interstate 35 Exit #223 between Onion Creek and Buda in southern Travis County, near the Hays County line. This location also serves as the current western terminus of the SH 45 Toll Southeast toll road.[2] The highway proceeds east, through the city of Creedmoor, where it crosses FM 1625. Its eastern terminus is at US 183 in Mustang Ridge. FM 1327 provides a free, at-grade alternative to the limited-access SH 45 toll road to its south, as this segment of the toll road lacks frontage roads.

History

FM 1327 was first designated in 1949. Its western terminus was near its current location, at the old alignment of US 81 prior to the construction of the Interstate 35 freeway, and its eastern terminus was in Creedmoor. In 1951, the route was extended eastward over the original alignment of FM 1625 to its current terminus at US 183 (then SH 29). 0.3 miles of the old route were transferred to a new alignment of FM 1625.[1]

Major intersections

The entire route is in Travis County.
