State Route 185 is a state highway in the San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of California. It runs along sections of Mission Boulevard in Hayward, East 14th Street in San Leandro and International Boulevard in Oakland. (International Boulevard was originally named East 14th in Oakland before it was renamed in 1997 -- the portion thereof from Lake Merritt to San Leandro city limits.)

The south end of SR 185 is a five-way intersection in downtown Hayward, with E Street heading northeast, State Route 92 heading southwest, and State Route 238 heading southeast and north. SR 185 heads northwest on Mission Boulevard and East 14th Street, crossing under Interstate 238, and meeting the east end of State Route 112 (signed as State Route 61 in downtown San Leandro. SR 185 ends just northwest of High Street in Oakland, where the short State Route 77 freeway heads southwest to Interstate 880. However, SR 77 is signed as part of SR 185, so SR 185 is signed to end at I-880.

The .45-mile (.72 km)[1] State Route 77 is part of a planned 13.8-mile (22.2 km) route, which would run from I-880 northeast past SR 185 to Interstate 580 near High Street. There it would turn northwest on I-580 to around Park Boulevard, splitting there to head northeast and north to State Route 24 near Lafayette.[3] Only the part east of unbuilt State Route 93 west of Moraga is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System; this does not include the constructed part, which is built as a short freeway.
