South Dakota Highway 25 is a state route that runs north to south across a large portion of South Dakota . It is divided into two segments:



The total length of SD 25 is 213 miles (343 kilometers).


HISTORY

When first designated in 1926, the south terminus of South Dakota 25 was at Howard . The segment from north of South Dakota Highway 262 ( U.S. Highway 16 at the time) to Howard was gradually added in the 1970's as construction was completed. The segment between SD 42 and SD 262 was added around 1992.

On the north end, SD 25 in 1926 took a zig-zag route north from De Smet ; it went through Clark to Webster then west about 15 miles before heading north to Britton and the North Dakota line northeast of Kidder .

In the mid 1950's, the route was realigned so it went straight north from De Smet to U.S. Highway 212 east of Clark, then north to Webster, before resuming the previous alignment to North Dakota.

In 1976, the north portion of SD 25 was shifted east to absorb an old alignment of South Dakota Highway 23 Webster to Lake City ; it then curved northeast through Veblen and north again at Hammer , on a former alignment of South Dakota Highway 15 .

Also in 1976, the distinct southern segment was added, absorbing the old South Dakota Highway 35 .
