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:
“But however the forms of family life have changed and the number expanded, the role of the family has remained constant and it continues to be the major institution through which children pass en route to adulthood.”
—Bernice Weissbourd (20th century)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
