History
SR 125 became a state highway during the 1964 highway renumbering, in which the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) replaced the old system (Primary and Secondary Highways) with a new system (State Routes), which is still in use today. In the Primary and Secondary system, SR 125 from Oregon to US 12 (then US 410) was the Walla Walla branch of Primary State Highway 3 and SR 125 from US 12 to SR 124 was Secondary State Highway 3E.
Before and after the establishment, the route of SR 125 has gone through 19 documented WSDOT construction projects from 1921 to 2003. Many were small, minor projects including repavings and intersection improvements. The latest project was a repaving project along SR 125 from Military Road south of Walla Walla to SR 125 Spur. The project cost $1,962,783 USD and happened in 2003.
