State Route 785 is an unsigned primary state highway in the city of Danville, Virginia, United States. Completely overlapping U.S. Route 29 and U.S. Route 58, it forms the southeastern quadrant of the Danville Expressway. SR 785 is numbered in contradiction to the conventional system of numbering in the state, where primary routes are numbered less than 600 and secondary routes at or above this number. It is numbered as such because it is part of the planned Interstate 785, which will run south along US 29 to Interstate 85 in Greensboro, North Carolina, and is only one of two routes of this type. The other is Route 895 in Richmond for similar reasons.
