Route 185 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels from Saint-Antonin to Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha!, a distance of about 28 km (17.4 mi). It connects the 2 sections of Autoroute 85 and is the former designation for all of A-85.
The southern section of the highway follows the valley of the
Madawaska River
.
At present, Route 185 is a 2-lane highway with passing lanes. Often cited as one of the most dangerous highways in Canada, it is being upgraded to
Halifax, Nova Scotia - a length of about 2,150 km (1,300 mi), roughly playing the same role that the old Quebec Route 2
(which Route 185 was formerly part of) played before its renumbering into several roads in the early-1970s.
Currently, there are 2 sections of A-85, the latter from A-20 to Saint-Antonin, and the other from Saint-Louis-du-Ha! Ha! to
Degelis
, and as of 2016, route 185 no longer connects to New Brunswick route 2 at the provincial border. The opening of the remaining portion in 2025 will also mark the end of Route 185.
