Alabama Highway 25 (or State Route 25) is a 257.3-mile long highway, running northwest from Alabama State Route 5 near Pine Hill in Wilcox County to the Georgia state line. North of Leeds, the route is an unsigned partner route to U. S. Highway 411 which continues through Rome, Georgia to Newport, Tennessee.
In west Alabama's Black Belt, the route is mainly north-south. It turns in a northeasterly direction near Greensboro, skirting the southern part of the Birmingham Metropolitan Area in Shelby County.
The section of Highway 25 crossing Double Oak Mountain north of Vandiver was constructed between 1914 and 1921 with the support of Buffalo Rock founder Sid Lee. The roadway provided access to his 3,000 acre camp in Calcis while also providing a route between the Coosa River valley and the Cahaba River valley.
That route paralleled a railroad line that tunnels through Double Oak Mountain.
