North Carolina Highway 27

On the east side of Charlotte, it begins its 100-mile (160 km) long concurrency with NC 24, approximately 1/2 of its total length.

The two highways leave the city along Albemarle Road and remain joined until the unincorporated community of Johnsonville.

Along this segment, they pass through the cities of Midland, Locust, Albemarle, Troy, Biscoe, and Carthage.

From the split with NC 24, the road runs northeast to Lillington where it follows Main Street, and leaves town as a concurrency with US 421.

It passes Campbell University in Buies Creek before entering Johnston County and ending in Benson just short of I-95.

From Lake Tillery to Wadeville, NC 27A formed the southern edge of the Uwharrie National Forest.
