Special Considerations

The entire route is a US highway and the full length is paved with paved or hard packed two to four foot shoulders.

Restrictions

The only restriction to vehicles is the prohibition of trucks carrying explosive or toxic materials. This is due to the archeological and geological qualities of the cave system at Cumberland Gap National Historical Park and the fact that 25E passes through a tunnel at that location.
