Route
editThe M85 begins at a junction with the M9 route (Rivonia Road) and the M75 route (Sandton Drive) in Sandton Central, just east of Sandhurst. It heads east-north-east through Sandown to reach an interchange with the M40 route (Grayston Drive). It continues north-east to leave Sandown and reach the suburb of Kramerville, where it meets the western terminus of the M60 route (Marlboro Drive) before meeting the M74 route (South Road).[3][4]
It continues northwards as Bowling Avenue, through Wendywood (east of Morningside) and Gallo Manor, passing in-between Woodmead & Rivonia (bypassing the Sandton Country Club), to pass under the N1 highway (Western Bypass) and reach its end at a junction with the R564 route (Witkoppen Road) in Sunninghill.[3][4]
