^Looking northward as US Route 27 heads out of the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, with US Routes 52 and 127 along for the ride, August 2024.

US Route 27 only clips the southwest corner of Ohio, running north-northwesterly from Cincinnati toward Richmond, Indiana. It takes a while for US Route 27 to eventually nudge westward enough to make it over the state line, so US Route 27 spends about 40 miles within Ohio's borders.  US Route 27 enters Ohio from the south on a bridge over the Ohio River between Newport, Kentucky, and downtown Cincinnati. US Route 27 cuts west to join US Route 127, US Route 42, and US Route 52 north along the western edge of downtown. From Cincinnati, US Route 27 runs north-northwesterly through rural farmland to Oxford, home of Miami University. At Oxford, US Route 27 bends northwesterly to cross the Indiana state line soon afterward.

My photo of US Route 27 signage in Ohio shows a junction marker seen by westbound travelers on Ohio Route 130. This marks a junction in the small town of McGonigle, between Hamilton and Oxford. Ohio Route 130 has its western terminus at this junction.  This photo was taken during my tour around southwestern Ohio in October 2018.
