Florida State Road 407 is spur from the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway (SR 528) that links the expressway to SR 405. By utilizing the 407 to 405 route, travelers from Central Florida can access the Kennedy Space Center and the city of Titusville. State Road 407 was built as a Super-2, meaning that although the highway is expressway-standard, it is merely two lanes with only a dotted or solid yellow line in the middle separating northbound and southbound traffic.

Within the SR 528/SR 407/I-95 triangle is a swampland containing the southern unit of Saint Johns National Wildlife Refuge, a popular resting area for migrating birds (the northern unit is two miles to the north, adjacent to I-95 and SR 50), and just to the west of the triangle is Tosohatchee State Reserve, which extends from SR 50 southward to just south of SR 520 in nearby Orange County.

The road arguably lost its Super 2 qualities when an at-grade intersection was built just south of SR 405, providing a southern exit to Florida's Spaceport Industrial Park.
