 Creation: Tennessee first tried to get US 127 extended to Chattanooga from Cincinnati in April 1955 but was turned down by AASHO. Tennessee was succesful in getting this done in June 1959 as an addition to TN 8 from Chattanooga to Dunlap and TN 28 from Dunlap through Crossville annd Jamestown and into Kentucky.
Adjustments: In 1962, US 127 was reoved from the following east of Crossville: Old Homestead Hwy; Byrds Creek Ln/Old Hwy Cir; County Seat Rd; Southbend Dr
In 1972, US 127 was removed from Old Jamestown Hwy in northern Crossville
About 1992, US 127 was removed from Old US 127/Main St through Jamestown
In 2001, US 127 was given its bypass of Pikeville, leaving behind Main St
In 2004, US 127 was removed from Roanoke Rd near the Jamestown Airport
In 2010, US 127 was removed from abandoned roadway/Squirrel Flat Rd in Squirrel Flat
In 2013 or 2014, US 127 north was extended west as new construction to the new TN 111 alignment, then north into Kentucky. This left behind literally a few feet of Old US 127 into its original Kentucky crossing.

Posting: Fully posted except for below the US 27 freeway in Chattanooga. it is unclear if US 127's old overlay with US 27 into downtown Chattanooga has EVER been posted...yet to find a photo, despite maps back to 1960 showing US 127 going downtown.
Secret TN Route Overlay: TN 8 (28.9 mi)

Comment: US 127 follows the path of the failed US 37 attempt in the 1930s.
