State Route 242

California State Route 242

California 242 is a short freeway connecting Interstate 680 with California 4 in Concord. Until the late 1980s, California 242 was signed as an eastern continuation of California 24. With the identification of an as-yet unconstructed freeway route from Walnut Creek to Pittsburg, California 24 was removed from this route, and it was signed as California 242. At one time, California 24 was a much longer route, encompassing portions of California 242, California 4, California 160, and California 70 (U.S. 40 Alternate).
