. In Virginia
, the Interstate Highway runs 68.64 miles (110.5 km) from the North Carolina
state line near Bracey
north to I-95
in Petersburg. I-85 passes through the eastern part of Southside Virginia, where it parallels U.S. Route 1
(US 1) from Petersburg, where the highway runs concurrently
with US 460
, to south of South Hill
, where the highway intersects Southside's major east–west highway, US 58

southwest of Bracey. The Interstate Highway continues southwest toward Henderson
and Durham
. Northbound I-85 has a welcome center before the highway crosses Lake Gaston, an impoundment of the Roanoke River, on a causeway and bridge before reaching an interchange with SR 903 at Bracey. The freeway passes through the town of South Hill, where the highway has a cloverleaf interchange
with US 58 (Atlantic Avenue). US 58 serves as the major east–west highway of Southside Virginia; the U.S. Highway provides access to La Crosse
, Brodnax
, Lawrenceville
, and Emporia
to the east and Boydton
and Clarksville
to the west. US 58 leads to SR 47
, which provides access to Chase City
. North of the town of South Hill, I-85 has a junction with US 1 (Mecklenburg Avenue), which parallels the Interstate Highway from Henderson to Petersburg. The US 1 interchange also provides access to SR 138
, which heads north toward Kenbridge
.
North of US 1, I-85 enters Brunswick County
just before the highway crosses the Meherrin River
. The Interstate Highway has an interchange with SR 644 (Brunswick Drive) at Meredithville
and a partial interchange with SR 46
(Christanna Highway) before the freeway crosses to the east side of US 1 (Boydton Plank Road) at an interchange southwest of the town of Alberta

I-85 crosses the Nottoway River
into Dinwiddie County
southwest of its interchanges with SR 40
(McKenney Highway) near the town of McKenney
and SR 650 (Hamilton Arms Road) at DeWitt
. The Interstate Highway serves Dinwiddie
via its partial cloverleaf interchange with SR 703 (Carson Road) just east of the county seat
of Dinwiddie County and another pair of rest areas. The Dinwiddie interchange and the following interchange with US 460 (Cox Road) provide access to Virginia Motorsports Park
. At the partial cloverleaf interchange with US 460, which also leads to Dinwiddie County Airport, the Interstate Highway and U.S. Highway start to run concurrently toward Petersburg. Both the US 460 interchange and the following partial cloverleaf junction with US 1 (Boydton Plank Road) provide access to the National Museum of the Civil War Soldier at Pamplin Historical Park. East of US 1, the freeway curves to the east and changes from having a wide, forested median to a Jersey barrier
separating the twin carriageways.
I-85 enters the city of Petersburg prior to its junction with Squirrel Level Road. South of downtown Petersburg, I-85 reaches its northern terminus at a trumpet interchange with I-95. The southern end of the interchange has a ramp from northbound I-85 to southbound I-95. Here, US 460 joins I-95 south through an interchange with US 301
(Crater Road), south of which the U.S. Highway separates from I-95 on its way to Norfolk
. I-85 curves north and merges with I-95 (Richmond–Petersburg Turnpike) in the direction of Richmond adjacent to the loop ramp from northbound I-95 to southbound I-85. Just before merging with northbound I-95, I-85 has its final exit, a ramp that leads to the one-way pair
of eastbound Wythe Street and westbound Washington Street in Historic Old Towne Petersburg. Wythe Street leads to Petersburg National Battlefield
; Fort Lee, which contains the Army Quartermaster Museum
and Army Women's Museum; and the city of Hopewell
via SR 36
