Route description
SR 185 begins just west of downtown Dyer at an interchange with US 45W/SR 5/SR 77. It goes east as Yorkville Street to enter downtown, where it turns south as Main Street (Old US 45W). It passes through downtown before turning east onto Poplar Grove Road, where it leaves Dyer and continues east through farmland before coming to an end at an intersection with SR 54.
History
The original western terminus was in Dyer at the intersection of Main Street (then US 45W) and Poplar Grove Road. In 2001, when US 45W was realigned to a newly constructed bypass route to the west of Dyer, SR 185 was extended through Dyer on Main Street and Yorkville Street (formerly SR 77) to the new US 45W. This change went unsigned until May 2008.
Major intersections
The entire route is in Gibson County.
