Ohio State Route 85
State Route 85 (SR 85, OH 85) is an east–west state highway in the northeastern Ohio. The western terminus of State Route 85 is at a traffic circle in Andover where it intersects the duplex of U.S. Route 6 and State Route 7. Its eastern terminus is just over 2.5 miles (4.0 km) east of Andover at the Pennsylvania State Line in the middle of the Pymatuning Causeway, where Pennsylvania Route 285 continues east.
The shortest of three state routes that lie completely within Ashtabula County, the current State Route 85 is a fraction of the route it was when first designated in the mid 1920s, when it ran from Euclid to Andover and onto the Pymatuning Causeway. When U.S. Route 6 was designated in Ohio in the early 1930s, State Route 85 was at first co-signed with the U.S. highway from Euclid to Andover, but by the late 1930s, the State Route 85 shields were removed from this stretch of roadway, leaving just the stretch of highway that exists today.
