State Route 25 or State Road 25 (SR-25) is a state route in the U.S. state of Florida. State Road 25 is largely an administrative and unsigned number for several US Highways on the route from Miami to the Georgia border. The route is a total of 690 kilometers long.
Travel directions
State Road 25 begins in Miami as NE 36th Street. The route coincides almost directly with US 27 in Florida and follows it for 438 kilometers to Lady Lake, a village north of Leesburg. This route leads through the central part of Florida and outside the Miami region it mainly passes through smaller towns, but through the urbanized region of Central Florida. Between Lady Lake and Belleview, the former State Road 25 follows an alternate route via Weirsdale and Ocklawaha. This is now County Road 25.
From Belleview, the route follows US 441 to Lake City, a 148-mile stretch that passes through Ocala and Gainesville. From Lake City, the route follows US 41 to the Georgia border at Jennings.
History
With the renumbering of the state roads in 1945, a grid was introduced in Florida where odd routes run north-south and each x5 number is a primary route, in this case State Road 25. Because the network of US Highways was not skipped, many primary routes in whole or in part with US Highways, in the case of State Road 25 US 27, US 301, US 441 and US 41. The only section that deviated from this was a 45-kilometer section between Lady Lake and Belleview in Central Florida. However, this section is no longer a state road and has since been numbered County Road 25.
