U.S. Route 85B (US 85B) is an approximately nine-mile-long (14 km) temporary auxiliary route of US 85 in the state of North Dakota. It functions as a northeastern bypass of the city of Williston. It is a temporary solution to the increase in truck traffic, before they can gather the funds to construct an expressway bypass, dubbed the "Northeastern Truck Reliever Route". US 85 already bypasses the city to the northwest. As of May 2017[update], U.S. Route 85B is incorrectly shown as U.S. Route 85 Business on Google Maps.
