From there, the route occupies a portion of Woodman Drive for about 1.5 miles (2.4 km), crossing south through Dayton to an intersection with Patterson Road/Research Boulevard in Kettering; the route turns east onto Research Boulevard.

From there the route gradually curves to the east, entering Beavercreek and passing under Interstate 675 with no junction.

The route then reaches an intersection with an exit ramp from eastbound US 35; at that point, SR 835 turns south.

SR 835 briefly continues to its terminus at the US 35 interchange with North Fairfield Road (C-9) in Beavercreek.

Just prior to the terminus, the eastbound route has a right-turn lane that makes a U-turn-type movement, merging with the ramp from North Fairfield Road to westbound US 35.
