State Road 407 (SR 407), known locally as Challenger Memorial Parkway, is a 6.8-mile (10.9 km) spur from SR 528 (Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway) that links to SR 405. By utilizing the SR 407 to SR 405 route, travelers from Central Florida can access the Kennedy Space Center and the city of Titusville.
Some road maps (for example, AAA) show SR 407 between SR 528 and Interstate 95 (I-95) to be a toll road.[citation needed] While no tolls are collected on SR 407 and it is not signed as a toll road, it is impossible to drive on this section without also connecting to or from State Road 528 and paying a toll.
Route description
The intersection of SR 407 (thin line) and Interstate 95 (thicker line) seen from the air
State Road 407 was built as a two-lane freeway, 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.
The northern half of the road lost its two-lane freeway qualities when an at-grade intersection was built just south of SR 405, providing a southern exit to Florida's Spaceport Industrial Park and Space Coast Regional Airport.[when?]
