State Route 242 is a short three-mile (5 km) connector route that links Interstate 680 north of Pleasant Hill to State Route 4 in Concord. In 2000, State Route 242 was widended to six through-traffic lanes for the entire route. Ramp metering is present at all onramps, but is not used at this time. It was signed as part of State Route 24 until ca. 1987. Currently, along with Interstate 580, State Route 24, Interstate 680, and State Route 4, it serves as the most direct route between the San Francisco Bay Area and the Sacramento River Delta region of Northern California.
This route is part of the California Freeway and Expressway System[ [http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=shc&group=00001-01000&file=250-257 CA Codes (shc:250-257)] ] .]Exit list
