History

Route description
SH 218 splits from I-35 just west of the I-35/Loop 1604 interchange in Live Oak and heads towards the east-southeast. The junction with I-35 only accommodates traffic heading westbound on SH 218 to westbound on I-35 and from I-35 eastbound to SH 218 eastbound.

The highway continues towards the southeast through Universal City, until it ends at FM 78 at the main gate of Randolph Air Force Base after just 3.99 miles (6.42 km).
