U.S. Highway 275 and Nebraska Highway 92 on the border of Omaha and Ralston
. It was a four-lane highway for its entire length.

Route description

Nebraska Highway 85 in downtown Papillion

N-85 began at an intersection with N-370 in

LaVista, and after passing Harrison Street, it entered Ralston. After its intersection with Madison Street, N-85 formed the west border of Ralston for most of the rest of the way, and with Omaha. At US 275 and N-92, which is L Street, the highway ended.[1][3]

History

In 2019, a pedestrian was killed while trying to cross N-85 in Papillion. This led to the communities along N-85 to ask NDOT to transfer ownership of the highway to the communities. Transferring the highway would allow each community to make changes to the roadway without having to involve NDOT.[4]
