northwest on Cherry Street and joins SR 120. After a couple blocks, Cherry Street meets southbound SR 25 at Spielbusch Avenue. After a turn to the northeast, the route becomes a four-lane divided highway known as Greenbelt Parkway. Northeast of SR 120 the highway passes through woodland and industrial properties. The northern terminus of SR 25 is at an interchange with I–280, as the roadway continues northeast. The parkway ends northeast of the interchange at Galena Street in a wooded area near the Toledo Correctional Institute. The portion of SR 25 running from the I-475/US 23 diamond interchange in Perrysburg to the I-75 interchange near downtown Toledo is included within the National Highway System. A 2009 traffic report from the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) showed that the lowest traffic levels were the 5,287 vehicles used the highway daily on the section near its southern terminus, between I–75 and SR 281 in Wood County, while peak traffic volumes were 61,648 vehicles along a section of SR 25 between SR 120 and I–280. History Most of the route was at one time the Dixie Highway. In 1923 the route that later became SR 25 was signed as SR 6. The SR 6 designation was changed to US 25 on November 11, 1926. Between 1946 and 1948 the roadway was widened to a four-lane divided highway, between Bowling Green and Maumee; the section south of Bowling Green was widened to a four-lane divided highway between 1951 and 1953. US 25 was decommissioned in 1973, and SR 25 was signed along its northern section. In 1986, SR 25 and US 24 switched routes north of the intersection at Detroit Avenue. Between 1997 and 1999, the road from the second interchange with I–75 and I–280 was widened into a four-lane divided highway. In 2004, a stretch of SR 25 in Wood County won a Perpetual Pavement Award from the Asphalt Pavement Association. The section was originally constructed in between 1937 and 1940 as one of the first "deep-strength" asphalt pavements built in Ohio.
