D27 is a state road connecting Gračac in the southern part of Lika, Croatia, to D8 state road via Benkovac.[maps 1] The road is 96.9 kilometres (60.2 mi) long.[1] It also provides an alternative route to the sections of A1 motorway and the D8 state road that cross the Maslenica strait over the two Maslenica bridges, underneath the Velebit. This is especially important when strong wind or storms (usually the bora) cause the A1 motorway section between Maslenica Bridge (A1) and Sveti Rok Tunnel to be closed for traffic for safety reasons.[2]

The road, like all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, a state-owned company.[3]
