History

[edit]

State Highway 25 was authorized November 2, 1920 from Belle Plaine to Big Lake.[1]

The roadway was fully graveled by 1928.[3] It was paved in stages from north to south throughout the 1930s: from Big Lake to Buffalo in 1931,[4] Buffalo to Montrose in 1932,[5] Montrose to Watertown in 1933,[6][7] and Watertown to Norwood in 1934.[7][8]

Paving was completed in Belle Plaine in 1937,[9] and the remaining gravel section through Sibley County was paved in 1950.[10]

When the four-lane bypass of U.S. 169 around Belle Plaine was built in 1955, Highway 25 was extended east along 169's former alignment to intersect the new highway.[9]

In 1961, Highway 25 was extended north along what had previously been State Highway 218 from Becker to Merrifield. This highway was already paved in its entirety.[11][12]

In 2001, the northernmost segment of the highway between State Highway 210 and Merrifield was turned back to Crow Wing County maintenance[13] and is now designated County Road 3.[14]
