Florida State Road 401

Florida State Road 401

One of the shortest signed roads in the State of Florida, State Road 401 (SR 401) is a four lane highway providing access to the south gate of Cape Canaveral Air Force Station near Cape Canaveral. Its southern terminus is a trumpet interchange with the Martin Andersen Beachline Expressway (formerly the Bee Line Expressway) and SR A1A. While the highway continues beyond the station gate (as Samuel E. Phillips Parkway) to the launch pads of the Kennedy Space Center, the state designation no longer does, as civilians and most military personnel not assigned to the station are generally not permitted beyond the gate.
