The second B985 route ran at right angles to the original route, following part of the original B986 route along Rose Street, Esslemont Avenue and Watson Street to the west of Aberdeen city centre. The route also included parts of Thistle Street and Chapel Street at the south end to provide a one-way-system link to the A9013. It seems likely that this version of the B985 was created in the late 1980s, around the time that the A944 was re-routed onto the former B983 out of the city, and the B9119 extended into Aberdeen along the former A944 and B985 route. It was downgraded in 2020 as part of the substantial review of classified routes in Aberdeen.
