The A985 road is an A road in Scotland. It runs along the north bank of the Firth of Forth and connects with the Kincardine Bridge and the Forth Road Bridge, the two crossing the waterway.

Course

In the west, the road starts as a branch on a roundabout along the A876, which forms an extension of the M876 motorway. After about 100 m you reach the listed Kincardine Bridge, on which it crosses the Forth and thus leaves Falkirk and reaches the Council Area Fife. The road is tangent to the southern edge of Kincardine and runs henceforth in an easterly direction. Beyond the city dates from the leading to Kinross A977. Before Valleyfield crosses the B9037, which runs directly along the north shore of the Firth of Forth and opens on a roundabout at Cairneyhill back into the A985. At this roundabout also ends the east to Dunfermline leading A994. The A985 bends to the south-east and finally reached Rosyth, where the B980 crosses. It ends at a roundabout between Rosyth and Inverkeithing. From this, a driveway leads to the M90. Rises in the East with the A921 to Kirkcaldy leading from the extension of the A985.
