Western Terminus |
 |
The western terminus of M-25 is at a full cloverleaf interchange with I-75/US 23 (Exit 162A) near Bay City.
As M-25 ends, US 10 begins its westward trek across the middle of the Lower Peninsula toward Ludington and the Lake Michigan Car Ferry.
There is not an M-25 ENDS sign assembly present at this endpoint. PHOTO # 1: Geoff Hatchard, January 8, 2003. |

The first reassurance marker for M-25 East is complemented by the first BS I-75 East trailblazer.
The Bay City BS I-75 is paired off with M-25 for its entire length of 3 miles before coming
to an end at the junction of M-25 and M-84 near downtown. PHOTO # 2: Geoff Hatchard, January 8, 2003. |

This guide sign on US 10 East reminds drivers to continue straight ahead to follow M-25 as US 10 comes to an
end at the I-75/US 23 interchange ahead. PHOTO # 3: Geoff Hatchard, January 8, 2003. |

Here is the scene on US 10 East as it transitions into M-25 at I-75/US 23. Although there is not an M-25 ENDS
shield present westbound at this interchange, there is a pair of US 10 ENDS markers in the eastbound direction, one on either side of the roadway. The overpass
behind the sign truss carries 3 Mile Road over US 10. PHOTO # 4: Geoff Hatchard, January 8, 2003. |

This is the exit signage for M-25 East on I-75/US 23 South. There is no mention of BS I-75 on this or
any of the other guide signs for this interchange on I-75/US 23 in either direction. PHOTO # 5: Geoff Hatchard, January 8, 2003. |

Orientation Change |
 |
At the northern tip of the Thumb, in downtown Port Austin, M-25 changes from an east/west orientation to
a north/south one. The intersection also serves as the northern terminus of M-53,
which multiplexes with M-25 for its northernmost 0.5 mile. Until 1973, this intersection marked the eastern terminus of M-25, as
the existing north/south portion of M-25 was then the northernmost leg of US 25. When US 25 was scaled back to end at the Ohio/Kentucky
State Line in 1973, M-25 was extended to Port Huron. PHOTO # 1: Dan Ploch, August 3, 2002. |

Southern Terminus |
 |
The southern terminus of M-25 is at BL I-69/BL I-94 in Port Huron, near the common eastern terminus for I-69 and
I-94 at the Blue Water Bridges, which connect to ON 402 at Sarnia, Ontario.
Note that the terminus signage for M-25 here does not involve an MDOT standard ENDS tab. Rather, an END tab has been placed beneath the SOUTH M-25 shield.

Meanwhile, the beginning of M-25 North is marked with a BEGIN tab atop an M-25 North shield. BEGIN tabs are seldom used in Michigan to denote the starting point of a route. PHOTO # 2: Dan Garnell, September 4, 2002. |
