Farm to Market Road 685 (FM 685) is a farm to market road in Greater Austin, Texas.[1]

Route description

FM 685 begins in Pflugerville along Dessau Road, at the eastern terminus of FM 1825.[2] The route runs to the northeast through Pflugerville to an interchange with the SH 45 Toll / SH 130 Toll toll road. From here, FM 685 runs north along the frontage road of the toll road, before separating from SH 130 in southern Hutto. The route continues to the northeast before ending at a junction with US 79 in central Hutto.[3]

History

FM 685 was designated in Williamson County in 1946, running from US 79 at Hutto southward to the Travis County line. The designation was extended into Travis County and Pflugerville in 1952, to its current southern terminus at FM 1825.[1]

When the SH 130 toll road was constructed, the segment between Pflugerville and Hutto used the right-of-way of FM 685. The FM 685 designation was subsequently applied to the frontage roads of the toll road.
