 Interstate 238 - Free net encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Interstate 238 (abbreviated I-238) is a short auxiliary route of the Interstate Highway System in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States.
It had been built as a freeway in 1956. When present Interstate 880 was added to the Interstate Highway System as a renumbering of part of State Route 17, the short piece of SR 238 connecting I-880 to I-580 was also added; both were non-chargeable routes (not eligible for Interstate Completion funds).
Note: the present extent of SR 238, from Interstate 680 in Fremont north to I-238 and I-580 in Castro Valley, was planned for replacement with a freeway (parallel to present I-880), and was unsuccessfully submitted to the Interstate Highway System in October 1970.

 California Highways (www.cahighways.org): Routes 880 through 980
I-880 (as Route 17) then continued N along present I-880, and was LRN 69 (defined in 1933) until its junction near Emeryville with US 40/US 50 (LRN 68 and LRN 5; present-day I-80 and I-580).
Since the former ramp interfered with the upcoming boost in lane-count for NB I-880 (coincidentally, from three to four lanes at this location), the departing angle for the exit would have been too sharp for many motorists' comfort--that is, if kept in its current configuration.
I-880 from Route 101 in San Jose to Route 80 at the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge in Oakland is named the "Nimitz Freeway".

 Miracle on Interstate 880 (1993) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: )
A man attempts to rescue people trapped on the I-880 bridge after the top half collapses during the 1989 San Francisco earthquake.
There is a particularly closed-in atmosphere during these scenes, and together with the added effects of blasting horns and blinking turn signals, it seems all-too real at times.
Many of these made-for-TV disaster movies are notoriously poor and have quite a reputation, but I-880, as it is also known, breaks away from this mould to give us a compelling and touching real-life drama, with an especially emotional ending that is a bit of a kick in the face.
