State Route 625 is a state route in northeastern Ohio
that exists entirely within Mahoning County. The western terminus of OH 625 is at US 224 in Boardman
, and its eastern terminus is at US 62 in the southwestern portion of Youngstown
. OH 625 is signed east–west. However, in its current layout, the highway is orientated north–south.
Until July 2008, OH 625 continued east via US 62, Glenwood Avenue, and Midlothian Boulevard, across I-680
and concurrent with OH 170
for a short distance before coming to an end where OH 170 turns off from Midlothian Boulevard onto Youngstown-Poland Road. In 2008, OH 625 was truncated to its current endpoint, and the portions of OH 625 along Glenwood Avenue and Midlothian Boulevard west of I-680 became an extension of OH 170.
. Eventually, a residential cul-du-sac, an apartment complex, and then the Mill Creek Park Golf Course appear on the east side of OH 625. Beyond there, the highway arrives at a signalized intersection with Shields Road. Continuing to the northeast, OH 625 passes by a number of homes and scattered patches of woods, before intersecting Truesdale Road. The primarily residential state route continues to the northeast through the point where the highway departs Lockwood Boulevard, and turns north onto Arden Boulevard. OH 625 intersects Midlothian Boulevard, at which point it enters into Youngstown
. With house after house lined up along both sides of the route, OH 625 continues north for a short distance, curving slightly to the north-northwest as it enters into the signalized T-intersection with US 62 that marks its endpoint.
