D425 is a state road in Croatia, connecting the outskirts of Ploče with the D62 state road, and is a part of a system of roads that connect the A1 motorway Ploče interchange to the Port of Ploče.[1][2] The road is 17.6 km (10.9 mi) long.[3]

The road, as well as all other state roads in Croatia, is managed and maintained by Hrvatske ceste, state owned company.[4] The dual carriageway part of the route was built in two phases, the first between finished in December 2008,[2] and the second in December 2013.[1]

Traffic volume

Traffic is regularly counted and reported by Hrvatske ceste, the operator of the road.[5] Substantial variations between annual (AADT) and summer (ASDT) traffic volumes are attributed to the fact that the road serves as a connection to the A1 motorway and the D8 state road carrying substantial tourist traffic.
