Route Description
The entirety of State Route 85 is situated in the eastern portion of Ashtabula County. No part of State Route 85 is included within the National Highway System, a system of routes deemed most important for the economy, defense and mobility of the country.
State Route 85 begins at a traffic circle in downtown Andover where it meets U.S. Route 6 and State Route 7. The two-lane state highway, which trends generally due east for its entire length, departs from the traffic circle and passes through a primarily commercial stretch of roadway to the point where it crosses the village limits of Andover, and enters into Andover Township. The tree-lined highway passes a blend of businesses and residences en route to the signalized intersection where it meets Pymatuning Lake Road, a road that follows the western edge of the Pymatuning Reservoir, and connects State Route 85 with the facilities of Pymatuning State Park. East of the traffic light, State Route 85 traverses the Pymatuning Causeway, which crosses the middle of the Pymatuning Reservoir. Approximately halfway across the causeway, the roadway hits the Pennsylvania State Line. At that point, State Route 85 comes to an end, and Pennsylvania Route 285 picks up the rest of the route across the causeway.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“In the mountains the shortest route is from peak to peak, but for that you must have long legs. Aphorisms should be peaks: and those to whom they are spoken should be big and tall of stature.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“Whose are the truly labored sentences? From the weak and flimsy periods of the politician and literary man, we are glad to turn even to the description of work, the simple record of the month’s labor in the farmer’s almanac, to restore our tone and spirits.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
