In a July 23, 1935 resolution, the alignment of K-27 was straightened to eliminate sharp curves, within Sharon Springs.^[1] On June 6, 1936, it was approved to slightly realign K-27 in Stanton in Stanton County.^[2] In a January 26, 1937 state highway commission meeting, it was approved to realign K-27 where it crosses the Smoky Hill River, in order to eliminate a bad drainage condition caused by several small branches converging with the main river.^[3] Between February 1937 and January 1938, US-270 was extended into Kansas, and overlapped K-27 from Johnson north to US-50 in Syracuse, where it terminated.^[4][5] KDOT requested that US-270 be extended north along K-27 to I-70 south of Goodland. This request was denied by the American Association of State Highway Officials in an October 14, 1967 meeting.^[6] In a November 14, 1980 AASHTO meeting, a request by KDOT was approved to truncate US-270 to its current terminus in Liberal.^[7] Then in a May 18, 1981 state highway commission meeting, it was approved by the state to truncate US-270 to Liberal and the designation was removed from K-27.^[8] In a March 20, 1937 resolution, the intersection with K-96 in tribune was reconstructed.^[9] On March 18, 1940, it was approved to slightly realign K-27 within Richfield and Stanton in Morton County, to eliminate several sharp curves.^[10] Before 1950, K-27 zigzagged from St. Francis northwestward. Then in an August 10, 1950 resolution, the overlap with US-36 was extended 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west from St Francis then turned north for about six miles (9.7 km) then turned west, which eliminated 13 sharp curves.^[11] On September 27, 1950, the state highway commission approved to realign K-27 in Goodland.^[12] Then in an October 14, 1953 resolution, the latter K-27 realignment was moved further northward to run along 8th Street in Goodland. This new alignment was completed by 1954.^[13][14] Then by 1970, it was realigned in Goodland again to its modern-day alignment.^[15]

On June 2, 1954, it was approved to slightly straighten the alignment of K-27, slightly south of the Nebraska border, to eliminate several sharp curves.^[16] In an April 27, 1955 resolution, K-27 was extended from Elkart, 0.33 miles (0.53 km) south to the Oklahoma border, where it continued as Oklahoma Highway 95.^[17]

In a November 14, 1956 resolution, a 0.276-mile-long (0.444 km) connector road was built from K-27 east to US-56, and designated as K-127.^[19] K-127 was decommissioned by 1959, as the city of Elkhart had annexed all the land around the highway, which is against Kansas law.^[18]

In a June 7, 1966 State Highway Commission meeting, the interchange with I-70 was designated, K-27 Spur was designated, and US-24 was realigned to overlap the new I-70.^[20] Then in an April 1, 1981 resolution, K-27 Spur was renumbered to US-24 Business in Goodland.^[21] On a May 3, 1996, the state approved to extend US-400 west, and was added to the overlap with US-50 in Syracuse.^[22] Before 2004, K-27 travelled through the west side of Elkhart to the Oklahoma border. On May 21, 2004, KDOT approved to realign K-27 north of Elkhart. The new 1.902-mile-long (3.061 km) realignment intersected US-56 northeast of Elkhart.^[23] In a December 22, 2015 resolution, the highway was realigned south of Sharon Springs, where it crossed Rose Creek and North Fork Rose Creek.^[24]
