D27 is a state road connecting Gračac in the southern part of Lika, Croatia to D8 state road via Benkovac. The road is 96.9 kilometres (60.2 mi) long. The road also provides an alternate 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 bura) cause the A1 motorway section between Maslenica Bridge (A1) and Sveti Rok Tunnel to be closed for traffic for safety reasons.
