Route Description
Although the 2.16-mile (3.48 km) I-238 goes in an east–west direction from Castro Valley to San Leandro, Caltrans officially signs it as a north–south freeway since the rest of State Route 238 is more north–south. The south (or east) terminus of I-238 is at its interchange with Interstate 580 and SR 238 in Castro Valley. From there, it enters into the southern portion of the census-designated place of Ashland, running parallel to its border with Cherryland. Then after entering San Leandro, I-238 terminates at Interstate 880.
I-238 and I-880 is used as an alternate truck route between Castro Valley and Oakland; trucks over 4.5 tons are prohibited through the latter on I-580.

“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
