context_page_description: State Route 25 is part of the system of numbered highways in Maine. It runs for 42.4 miles across the south central part of the state. SR 25 begins at the New Hampshire border near Porter, where it continues west as New Hampshire Route 25. Its eastern terminus is in downtown Portland at the intersection of Park Avenue and State Street. Administratively, it shares a terminus with SR 22 and SR 77.
context_section_description: SR 25 begins west of Porter, where NH 25 crosses the Maine-New Hampshire border.  The western part of the highway runs along the Ossipee River on the southern edge of town.  SR 25 intersects and overlaps with SR 160 before crossing the river, passing through the extreme northeast corner of Parsonsfield en route to Cornish, where it meets SR 5.  On the north side of town, SR 5 and SR 25 have a brief concurrency before meeting SR 117.  SR 5 splits off northeast, crossing the Saco River with SR 117 in tow, while SR 25 joins SR 117 south towards Limington.  After crossing the town line, SR 117 splits off with SR 25 continuing southeast through town.  The highway crosses SR 11 and then over the Saco River into Standish.  SR 25 meets the southern terminus of SR 113 and crosses SR 35 before crossing into Gorham.  SR 25 overlaps briefly with SR 112 before reaching the town center, where it runs concurrently with US 202 and SR 4, crossing SR 114 in the process.
  SR 25 crosses into the city of Westbrook, where it uses Wayside Drive and the Westbrook Arterial to bypass the busy Main Street.  SR 25 Business, a former alignment of SR 25, serves this area.  The highway crosses into Portland and immediately interchanges with the Maine Turnpike (I-95) at exit 47, thereafter meeting its business route and proceeding into downtown on Brighton Avenue.  SR 25 crosses SR 9 (Stevens Avenue), then turns onto Deering Avenue, crossing over I-295/US 1 without an interchange.
  The signed eastern terminus of SR 25 is at the end of Deering Avenue at Park Street (SR 22).  However, state route logs indicate SR 25 continuing along SR 22 to terminate at State Street (SR 77).  Both SR 22 and SR 25 officially terminate at SR 77, but SR 25 is not signed at the intersection.
