U.S. Route 25W (US 25W) is the western branch of U.S. Route 25 from Newport, Tennessee, where US 25 splits into US 25E and US 25W, to North Corbin, Kentucky, where the two highways rejoin.
US 25W has been included in the U.S. Highway System since the system's inception in 1926.
US 25W and US 25E splits at Newport, Tennessee. While US 25E goes on a northerly path towards Morristown, US 25W goes more of a westerly path to cross I-40, and to go through Dandridge, and cross I-40 for a second time. For all of its course from Newport to the east side of Knoxville, it runs concurrently with US 70. It then runs concurrently with I-640 for about two-thirds of its course around the city. It departs I-640 and the city of Knoxville, and goes furthern northwest to Clinton, in Anderson County. It goes on a concurrent run with I-75 from Rocky Top (formerly Lake City) into Campbell County. It then goes through the towns of LaFollette and Jellico. US 25E carries the secret designation of Tennessee State Route 9 for its entire course through the state.
