MD 725 begins at an intersection with Brown Station Road on the west side of Upper Marlboro. Old Marlboro Pike continues west as a county highway.[2] After passing John Rogers Boulevard, MD 725 crosses Fed Spring Branch and enters the town limits of Upper Marlboro.[1] The state highway curves south, then turns east at the intersection with Old Crain Highway, where the highway's name changes to Main Street. MD 725 heads into the downtown area, where the highway meets the northern end of MD 717 (Water Street) and passes many county buildings, including the county courthouse. The state highway passes Governor Oden Bowie Drive, where the highway's name changes to Marlboro Pike, and heads northeast out of the downtown area. MD 725 leaves the town limits by crossing the Western Branch of the Patuxent River and immediately meets the eastern end of MD 202 (Largo Road).[1][2] The state highway passes several industrial buildings that cluster around the road's at-grade crossing of CSX's Popes Creek Subdivision. MD 725 reaches its eastern terminus at a cluster of restaurants surrounding the intersection with US 301 (Robert Crain Highway). Marlboro Pike continues east as a county highway.[2]
MD 725, Old Marlboro Pike to the west, and Marlboro Pike to the east form the old alignment of MD 4, which bypassed the county seat around 1960. East of Old Crain Highway, the state highway is also the old alignment of US 301, which bypassed Upper Marlboro in the early 1950s.
The entire route is in Upper Marlboro in Prince George's County.
