About U.S. Route 25 in Michigan in brief
US Highway 25 was a part of the United States Numbered Highway System in the state of Michigan. It ran from the Ohio state line near Toledo and ended at the tip of The Thumb in Port Austin. The general routing of this state trunkline highway took it northeasterly from the state line through Monroe and Detroit to Port Huron. Along this southern half, it followed undivided highways and ran concurrently along two freeways, Interstate 75 and I-94. By the end of the 1950s, the entire route was paved. Starting in the early 1960s, segments of I-75 and I 94 were built, and US 25 was shifted to follow them south of Detroit. The entire designation was removed in 1973. The final routing of the highway is still maintained by the state under eight different designations, some unsigned. The highway was created with the initial US Highway System on November 11, 1926. It replaced several previous state highway designations. Some of the preceding highways followed roadways created in the 19th and the early 20th centuries. It initially was only routed as far north as Port Hur on; the northern extension to Port Austin happened in 1933. It was decommissioned in 1973, and the highway was not replaced by any other highway in the U.S. or any other state. It is now part of a major freeway system that runs through the city of Detroit and into the suburbs of East Detroit and Macomb County.
It also runs through rural areas of St. Clair County and St. Marys County, where it turns northward to Maryville and Maryville. It ends at M-19 near New Haven, intersecting the southern end of M-19-19 and M-29-29. It then turns north to connect to Gratiot Avenue, a major thoroughfare on the east side of Detroit running north-northeastersly. At 23M-Mile Road near Selfridge Air National Guard Base, M-59 merged with Mount Mount Hall Road to follow US25 to New Baltimore. At that interchange, US Mile turned northward onto the I-25-94 freeway while 23Mile continued eastward into New York City. At M-102, the highway exited Detroit and entered East Detroit. It continued, roughly parallel to I- 94, through Roseville and Clemens. At the intersection with Dix–Toledo Road near Woodhaven, US 25 separated from US 24 and continued northeastly for about two miles to an interchange with I 75 where it merged onto the freeway. It followed Telegraph Road through downtown Flat Rock and continued into the suburban area of Downriver. US 25 continued on the Fisher Freeway through the Downriver suburbs of Taylor, Southgate, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, and Melvindale before entering Detroit. At Clark Avenue, US-25 left the freeway to turn a block south and run along Fort Street parallel toI-75.
