Highway 185 eastbound, east of Rivière-du-Loup

Route 185 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels from Rivière-du-Loup, Quebec to Edmundston, New Brunswick, a distance of about 100 km (62 miles). It connects Quebec Autoroute 20 and New Brunswick Highway 2.

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 routes in all of Canada, Route 185 is slowly being upgraded to Autoroute standard; it is eventually planned to be a 4-lane controlled-access freeway, which will be numbered as Autoroute 85. Several sections have been completed as opened as such. Once this upgrade is completed, it will close one of the last gaps in the nearly-continuous freeway section of the Trans-Canada between Arnprior, Ontario, and New Glasgow, Nova Scotia, and for an even longer interprovincial freeway route between Windsor, Ontario and Halifax, Nova Scotia.
