Pennsylvania Route 225 (PA 225) is a 48.5-mile-long (78.1 km) state highway located in Dauphin and Northumberland Counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at an interchange with U.S. Route 22 (US 22)/US 322 in Dauphin. The northern terminus is at PA 61 in Shamokin. PA 225 is mostly a two-lane undivided road running through mountain and valley areas in the central part of the state. The route serves the communities of Halifax, Elizabethville, Berrysburg, Pillow, and Trevorton. PA 225 intersects PA 325 north of Dauphin, PA 147 in Halifax, US 209 in Elizabethville, PA 25 in Berrysburg, and PA 890 in Trevorton.
PA 225 was designated in 1928 to run from PA 25 in Berrysburg north to Shamokin, where it turned south and ended in Line Mountain. The route replaced a section of PA 45 between south of Herndon and Shamokin that had been designated a year earlier. The northern terminus of the route was truncated to US 122 (now PA 61) in Shamokin in the 1930s, with PA 125 replacing the section between Shamokin and Line Mountain. Also, the route was extended south to US 11/US 15/US 22/US 322 at Allegheny Street in Dauphin. The southern terminus was constructed into an interchange in 1942. The south end of PA 225 was realigned to end at an interchange with the US 22/US 322 freeway bypass of Dauphin in 1999, with the new alignment of PA 225 bypassing the borough to the west.
