South Dakota Highway 127

South Dakota Highway 127 (SD 127) is a state highway that runs from North Dakota Highway 127 (ND 127) northwest of White Rock to SD 10 in Sisseton. It was commissioned around 1980.

Route description

Starting in Sisseton, SD 127 runs north for 13 miles (21 km), then turns east at the eastern terminus of SD 106 where it runs east for 19.1 miles (30.7 km). Along the way, SD 127 passes south of New Effington, crosses under I-29, and skirts the south side of Rosholt. Turning to the north, SD 127 passes on the east side of White Rock Colony before entering North Dakota as ND 127.

History

The route that is currently SD 127 was established in 1926 as part of US Highway 81 (US 81), the Meridian Highway. In 1980, construction of the segment of I-29 was completed north of exit 246, and US 81 was rerouted from this point northward into North Dakota. The old route from I-29 to the North Dakota state line near White Rock was designated as SD 127.

In 1984, when construction of I-29 between Peever and New Effington was completed, this segment of US 81 was also routed onto it, and SD 127 was extended along its former alignment, to SD 10 east of Sisseton.

Major intersections

The entire route is in Roberts County.
