Route
The A38(M), known as the Aston Expressway, is a link from the M6 to Birmingham city centre.
At its widest point, it is a seven-lane single carriageway, with tidal flow. One lane is always out-of-use to act as a buffer between inbound and outbound traffic.

All movements are possible except between the unclassified road and the A38(M), and between the A38(M) and the southbound A5127.
