Ohio State Route 25
State Route 25 (SR 25, OH 25) is a largely north–south highway in northwestern Ohio. Its termini are on Interstate 75 near Cygnet (south) and at Interstate 280 in Toledo (north).
Between Perrysburg and Cygnet it is the relic of an old U.S. Route 25 that passes through Bowling Green as largely a divided surface highway. From Perrysburg it crosses the Maumee-Perrysburg Bridge joint with U.S. Route 20 and then follows the Anthony Wayne Trail from Maumee into downtown Toledo. The Maumee portioni is joint with U.S. Route 24. (U.S. Route 24 in greater Toledo takes, as far south as Perrysburg, the path of what used to be U.S. Route 25, more distant from the newer I-75, having had its route switched with that of old U.S. Route 25). North of this former terminus, State Route 25 runs through downtown Toledo on Erie Street (northbound) and Michigan Street (southbound) before becoming the Greenbelt Parkway, which is cut off at Interstate 280, terminating the route.

Famous quotes containing the words ohio, state and/or route:
“This fair homestead has fallen to us, and how little have we done to improve it, how little have we cleared and hedged and ditched! We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Our ancestors were savages. The story of Romulus and Remus being suckled by a wolf is not a meaningless fable. The founders of every state which has risen to eminence have drawn their nourishment and vigor from a similar wild source. It was because the children of the Empire were not suckled by the wolf that they were conquered and displaced by the children of the northern forests who were.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
