The total length of Iowa 27 is 282 miles (454 kilometers). At its southern terminus in Lee County on the Des Moines River and the Iowa- Missouri border, the expressway continues as Missouri State Highway 27 . Motorists who wished to travel the Avenue of the Saints through Iowa prior to the existence of Iowa 27 followed a lengthy list of directions (here, northbound): old Iowa 394 , and Interstate 35 ("I-35"). Iowa 27 runs concurrent with I-35 for 28 miles until reaching its northern terminus in Worth County at the Iowa- Minnesota border. From there, the Avenue of the Saints continues on I-35 to St. Paul. As of late 2005, the Iowa 27 expressway is nine miles (14 kilometers) and less than a year from completion. The only remaining two-lane stretch of Iowa State Highway 27 is found between state highways {Link without Title} in extreme southeastern Iowa, and is scheduled to be upgraded to four lanes in 2006.
