FM 3438 begins at U.S. Highway 277 near the Quail Hollow subdivision and travels to the north and passes to the east of Dyess Air Force Base before ending at Interstate 20.
A section of UR 3438 has frontage roads. They are located between Hartford St to US 84 for the nothbound lanes, and between Military Dr and US 84 on the southbound lanes. These frontage roads are a continuation of the frontage roads on eastbound US 84.
In 1995 the Texas Department of Transportation redesignated FM 3438 from I-20 to US 277 to Urban Road 3438.
In 2008 TxDOT began reconstruction of the intersection of UR 3438 & I-20 Bus/US 84.
The entire route is in Abilene, Taylor County.
