Route 238, also known as Elliston Road, is a 12.2-kilometre-long (7.6 mi) north–south highway on the northeastern corner of the Bonavista Peninsula on the island of Newfoundland. It is one of very few highways in Newfoundland and Labrador that both begin and end at the same highway, this one being Route 230 (Bonavista Peninsula Highway).[1]
Route 238 begins at an intersection with Route 230 southwest of Elliston in a very rural and remote area. Route 238 heads northeast to wind its way through Elliston, where it has an intersection with a local spur road, labeled as Route 238–11, which provides access to other areas of town and Maberly. The highway now winds its way northwest through rural terrain for several kilometres to enter Bonavista, where it has an intersection with Spillars Cove Road, which provides access to Spillars Cove. Route 238 now heads west along Coster Street past a cemetery and a neighbourhood before coming to an end at another intersection with Route 230 (Confederation Drive).
