The final section of I-27 to be built was through Lubbock, inside Loop 289; this was built in the early 1990s, and completed on September 3, 1992. On that day, a ceremony at the 34th Street overpass opened the road from 19th Street (US 62) to 54th Street, completing Texas's 3200-mile (5100 km) portion of the Interstate Highway System. At its south end, the new I-27 connected to an existing freeway upgrade of US 87, built about 1970 to a traffic circle at US 84 (just north of Loop 289). The old route of US 87 through Lubbock became U.S. Highway 87 Business upon completion of I-27. Two business loops of I-27 have been designated: through Plainview (former Loop 445) in early 1991, and through Hale Center (formerly a local street) in 2002.
