Notes - The former Richmond-Petersburg Turnpike formed the northernmost portion of Interstate 85 near Petersburg, Virginia when completed in 1958. The tolls were removed in 1992.
- In Georgia, I-85 is designated - but not signed - as State Route 403.
- The Peachoid, a water tower serving the town of Gaffney, South Carolina, can be seen for several miles on I-85. The structure is so named because it resembles a peach; in addition, it is a tribute to the fact that South Carolina is the nation's leading producer of peaches.
- In North Carolina, I-85 merges with I-40 from Greensboro to Hillsborough, just west of Durham. In Alamance County, the highway is also known as the Sam Hunt Freeway. Because I-85 was recently rerouted around Greensboro, it splits with I-40 eight miles (13 km) east of the original departure point. This is only temporary though. When the southern portion of the Greensboro Urban Loop is completed, I-40 will be rerouted around Greensboro also, which will extend the concurrency 12 miles (19 km) from the current split. Despite its reroute around Greensboro, the overall length for I-85 in North Carolina (233 miles/373 km) remains the same as before.
- Through downtown Atlanta, I-85 merges with I-75 for a short time. This strip of highway, called the Downtown Connector, is infamous for its bad traffic, and rather confusing split at the north end. The northbound lanes split and then cross over each other. Thus, to head northeast (rightward) on I-85, a driver must be in the leftmost northbound lanes before the split. To head northwest (leftward) on I-75, a driver must be in the rightmost northbound lanes before the split.
- Interstate 485 was supposed to have been an east-west connector route in the Atlanta area, but it was erased due to community opposition. Part of what would have been I-485 is now GA 10. I-485 was, according to the 1972 Atlanta Regional Transportation Plan, originally supposed to connect with I-420, a spur of I-20 that would have gone north, crossing I-285 (completed in 1968) and eventually going as far north as Dahlonega, Georgia. Only the stretch north of I-285 was originally built (being called Georgia SR 400 or simply Georgia 400), with a southbound (from I-285) extension coming a year before the Olympics to the current I-85 intersection northeast of Downtown Atlanta.
- There is currently a plan to extend I-85 across western Alabama, where it will connect with I-20 near Cuba, Alabama. This extension is in the planning stages. This extension will roughly follow the route of US-80 via Selma.[3] This section is also envisioned by some as part of a proposed Interstate 14.
- The junction between I-85 and I-77 in Charlotte is a strange configuration. When I-85 passes under I-77, the northbound lanes of I-77 are to the west (south on I-85) of the southbound lanes, and southbound I-77 is to the east (north on I-85) of northbound. The travel lanes on I-77 return to their proper positions north and south of this interchange.
- Recently I-85 has been widened from four to six lanes in South Carolina between exits 19 (US 76, Clemson/Anderson) and 79 (Road 57, Gossett Rd., Cannons Campground).
- At milepost 98 in North Carolina, the northbound lanes of I-85 cross under the southbound lanes, and cross back over them near milepost 102. This results in motorists driving to the left of opposing traffic for approximately three miles (5 km). The switch is not very noticeable, because the roadways are separated by up to 400 feet (123 m) of woods in this area. A rest area and Vietnam Veterans memorial are located in the median of this section, so the crossover allows for all exits into the rest area to be normal right-hand exits.
- Virginia's portion of I-85 was to have its posted speed limit raised from 65 mph (105 km/h) to 70 mph (113 km/h), effective July 1, 2006. As a result of this legislation, I-85 becomes the only stretch of highway in Virginia legally able to post a speed limit greater than 65 mph, and I-85 as a whole now has at least one 70-mph stretch in each of the five states it traverses.
