Route 185 is part of the Trans-Canada Highway. It travels from Saint-Antonin, Quebec to Edmundston, New Brunswick, a distance of about 100 km (62 miles). It connects Autoroute 85 and New Brunswick Route 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, it is slowly being upgraded to Autoroute standards and is eventually planned to be a 4-lane controlled-access freeway, which will be numbered as Autoroute 85. Several sections have been completed and 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.

Route 185 has been or is being made 4 lanes through most towns along its route.
