Ohio State Route 238
State Route 238 was a short northwest–southeast state highway in the southwestern portion of Ohio. At just over in length, State Route 238 had its southern terminus at the U.S. Route 62 /SR 3 concurrency less than southeast of Bloomingburg. Its northern terminus was at SR 38 in the downtown of the Fayette County village.
Designated in the mid-1920s and located in the northeastern quadrant of Fayette County, SR 238 essentially served as a spur route between the US 62/SR 3 concurrency and SR 38, as the two routes ran generally parallel with one another at a separation of about for a distance of approximately between Washington Court House and Bloomingburg. This route provided a connection for the parallel state-maintained roadways at the northeastern end of the run in parallel.
Route description
All of SR 238 was located in the eastern portion of Fayette County. In a 2013 traffic survey, around 2,380 cars traveled on SR 238 on average daily.The short journey of SR 238 commenced at the rural Union Township intersection of US 62 and SR 3 and Old Springfield Road. Heading northwest from there, the two-lane state highway traveled amidst a vastness of farmland, while passing by a couple of homes along the way. After crossing a set of railroad tracks, SR 238 entered Bloomingburg. With the Bloomingburg Cemetery abutting the west side of the highway, SR 238, which is now known as Main Street, passed a business and some residences prior to coming to an end at its junction with SR 38 at a four-way stop intersection in the village's downtown area.
