History
State Route 85 made its debut in 1924, consisting of what is now the stretch of U.S. Route 6 between Euclid and Andover, as well as the entirety of the current State Route 85 from Andover to the Pennsylvania State Line. When U.S. Route 6 made its debut in Ohio in 1932, it was routed via the stretch of State Route 85 between Euclid and Andover. For the six years following, U.S. Route 6 and State Route 85 were run concurrently along that stretch of roadway. In 1938, State Route 85 was truncated to its current routing between Andover and the connection to Pennsylvania Route 285 on the Pymatuning Causeway, leaving U.S. Route 6 to be the lone route running between Euclid and Andover.
