State Road 827 is a short 7-mile (11 km) southwest-to-northeast highway that lies entirely within Steuben County in the northeast corner of the U.S. State of Indiana.
Route description
State Road 827 begins at State Road 127 within the town of Angola. The road goes northeast, directly toward Fremont; its route is roughly parallel to a portion of an Indiana Northeastern Railroad line, and the road stays within 1,000 feet (300 m) to the east of the railroad for most of its length. Just before entering Fremont, State Road 827 passes under Interstate 80/90 with no interchange. In Fremont, its northern terminus is at State Road 120.
History
State Road 827 originally connected to a section of U.S. Route 27 which was later diverted onto Interstate 69. It has been shortened at both ends; it formerly continued north beyond Fremont to the Michigan state line where it fed into an un-numbered Fremont Road in Branch County, Michigan. In Angola, in 2005, it was diverted over a recently completed viaduct so that it intersects Indiana 127 just north of Angola.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Steuben County.
