Guam Highway 27 (GH-27), also known as Hamburger Highway or Harmon Loop Road, is a short highway in the United States territory of Guam. The highway runs in an east–west direction from a junction with GH-16 to a junction with GH-1, and is located almost entirely in the southern region of the city of Dededo. The highway gets its name from the fact that it provides access to a large McDonald's restaurant located at the intersection with GH-16.[2]
