Pennsylvania Route 407 (PA 407) is a 12.5-mile-long (20.1 km) state highway located in Lackawanna and Susquehanna Counties in Pennsylvania. The southern terminus is at U.S. Route 6 (US 6)/US 11 in South Abington Township, Pennsylvania near Clarks Summit near the northern terminus of Interstate 476 (I-476), also known as the Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension. The northern terminus is at PA 374 near Glenwood. PA 407 is a two-lane road that serves Clarks Green and Waverly in northern Lackawanna County. This route was part of the Philadelphia and Great Bend Turnpike, a turnpike that was built in 1826. PA 407 was designated in 1928 between US 6/US 11 in Clarks Summit and PA 107 in Fleetville. The route was extended north to PA 374 in 1961. PA 407 was rerouted to its current southern terminus in 2004.
PA 407 begins at an intersection with US 6/US 11 in South Abington Township, Lackawanna County, heading north on two-lane undivided South Abington Road. The road heads through commercial areas and woods, turning north-northwest and passing under a viaduct carrying I-476 (Northeast Extension of the Pennsylvania Turnpike). The route heads into residential areas, becoming the border between Clarks Summit to the west and South Abington Township to the east. PA 407 forms the border between Clarks Summit to the west and Clarks Green to the east before fully entering Clarks Green as it passes more homes, becoming North Abington Road. The road heads into Waverly Township and becomes Abington Road, heading through less dense residential areas with some woods and fields. The route heads through the community of Waverly, where it forms a short 2 block concurrency with PA 632.
