U.S. Route 85B (US 85B) is an approximately nine-mile-long (14 km) temporary auxiliary route of US 85 located entirely within Williams County in the state of North Dakota. The highway serves as an eastern bypass around the city of Williston.[1] The establishment of the route was a temporary solution to the rapid increase in truck traffic in the area due to the North Dakota oil boom. The county plans on eventually replacing the highway with an expressway bypass, dubbed the "Northeastern Truck Reliever Route", once funding is gathered.[2] US 85 already bypasses the city as an expressway to the west.
