U.S. 25

U.S. 25

The northernmost extent of U.S. 25 travels from Corbin to Covington in Kentucky. The route formerly continued through Ohio to Port Huron, Michigan. Due to close proximity to Interstate 75, it was truncated north of the Ohio state line in 1974. The route ends on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge alongside U.S. 42 & 127 into Cincinnati.

South of Corbin, U.S. 25 separates into East and West branches. U.S. 25E meanders 47 miles southeast to Barbourville, Pineville, Middlesboro and the Cumberland Gap Tunnel while U.S. 25W stays along the Interstate 75 corridor for 35 miles to Williamsburg and Jellico. U.S. 25 otherwise mostly acts as a local or business route for I-75 north from Corbin to London, Mt. Vernon, Berea, Richmond, Lexington, Williamstown and the Northern Kentucky metro area.
