Creation: Appeared in 1935 as new primary routing, running from US 35 (now WV 62) near Nitro to US 35 (now WV 62) east of Dunbar. This is the 3rd WV 25.
| Adjustments: Between 1950-57 WV 25 was removed from Ash St (no longer connects)/Main Ave/Blackwood Ave in Nitro, most of which became WV 25 ALT.
Around 1966, WV 25 was placed on newly constructed Fairlawn Ave from 19th St east to 10th St which WV 25 then used south back to Dunbar Ave. The old route is partly covered by I-64, plus WV 25 used 16th St south to Dunbar up to this point. In 1970, WV 25 was extended east replacing US 35 to its current endpoint at US 60.
Improvements: Fully paved upon inception. Wv 25 was multilaned from WV 622 to CR 25/10 in the late 1960s. WV 25 is multilaned on its 1970 extension into Charleston Comment: A suburban alternative to WV 62. WV 25 serves West Virginia State Univ WV 25 also has a connection to I-64 Exit 50 via CR 25/10. | Previous WV 25's:

WV 25 #1: Appeared 1922 as new primary routing running from WV 2 Weirton east to the nearby Pennsylvania State Line. I do not believe WV 25 made it to Ohio, as the first bridge at Weirton opened in 1928.
In 1927, WV 25 was renumbered as part of US 22. Today it is WV 105 except 24th St/24 th St Ext Loop; CR 15 Culler Rd and Palm Dr east of Weirton; CR 22/1 right at the Pennsylvania line.
WV 25 #2: Appeared about 1931 as a renumbering of WV 19 running from US 21-60 Charleston northwest to Ohio at Point Pleasant. In 1935, WV 25 was renumbered as US 35. Today it is WV 62 plus the last two miles into Charleston are now a bit of today's WV 25 plus Washington St West. The bridge over the Ohio River was the Silver Bridge which collapsed from mechanical failure in 1967.
