Route description

SR 407 begins at an intersection with SR 168 in the city of Norfolk. Indian River Road continues west toward the Berkley neighborhood of the city and intersects Wilson Road, which carries US 460 and SR 168. Access to westbound US 460 and southbound SR 166 toward Chesapeake is via continuing west to Wilson Road; access to eastbound US 460 and northbound 166 to cross the Campostella Bridge over the Eastern Branch Elizabeth River toward Downtown Norfolk is via SR 168. Though not designated as such by the Virginia Department of Transportation as such, Indian River Road west of here and Berkley Avenue to the SR 337 intersection is signed as a part of SR 407. SR 407 heads east as a six-lane divided highway that crosses over Steamboat Creek and passes the former Ford assembly plant before entering the city of Chesapeake by crossing over a Norfolk Southern Railway line. The state highway passes through residential neighborhoods and crosses the Indian River before reaching its eastern terminus at MacDonald Road, which follows the boundary between Chesapeake and the city of Virginia Beach. Indian River Road continues east as an unnumbered highway through an intersection with US 13.
