State Road 838 (SR 838), locally known as Sunrise Boulevard, is a 10.2 miles (16.4 km) long east–west highway serving central Broward County. The western terminus is at an intersection with the Sawgrass Expressway (SR 869) in Sunrise; the eastern terminus is at intersection with North Ocean Boulevard (SR A1A) in Fort Lauderdale, next to Hugh Taylor Birch State Park. For 0.91 miles (1.46 km) in downtown Fort Lauderdale, SR 838 overlaps U.S. Route 1.
Sunrise Boulevard has its western terminus at the Sawgrass Expressway. On the northwest quadrant of its intersection with Flamingo Road is Sawgrass Mills, one of the nation's largest malls. After it passes the mall, SR 838 passes through mainly residential areas until its intersection with University Drive. During this span, Sunrise Boulevard also has the hidden designation of County Road 838 along with its state road designation.
About two miles down the road from University Drive intersection is Plantation High School, followed by interchanges with Florida's Turnpike and US 441 (SR 7), with the latter intersection at the border between Plantation and Lauderhill. Central Broward Regional Park and the Swap Shop border the road to the north after the interchange with US 441 as it enters the Dillard Park neighborhood of Fort Lauderdale. The interchange with I-95 soon follows.
