State Route 27 is a freeway in Arlington County, Virginia, United States, and is the portion of Washington Boulevard east and south of U.S. Route 50 (Arlington Boulevard). From Route 50, Route 27 runs northwest-to-southeast and has interchanges with Route 244 (Columbia Pike) and Interstate 395 (Shirley Highway). The interchange between Routes 27 and 395 is called the "Mixing Bowl," although local motorists often use that term to refer to the Springfield Interchange on the Capital Beltway in Springfield. Route 27 then turns to a southwest-to-northeast orientation and runs past The Pentagon (with a second interchange with Route 244) in the direction of the George Washington Memorial Parkway and the Arlington Memorial Bridge, ending at the Boundary Channel. Route 27 is part of the National Highway System as either a part of the Strategic Highway Network (west of the Mixing Bowl) or an arterial highway (otherwise).
