Several places in the German-speaking area are named Nassau, but most places and things named Nassau ultimately derive their name from the town of Nassau on the Lahn in Rhineland-Palatinate, after which the region and the House of Nassau are named. In German, nass means "wet" and Au can be a short form of either Flussaue (floodplain) or Auwald. It can also be used as a synonym for Feuchtwiese. Aue derives from Middle High German ouwe, which is related to the Latin aqua ("water").

The highway connects Port Colborne near Lake Erie with Highway 406 in Welland, via the Main Street Tunnel. It was constructed in the early 1970s as part of the Welland Bypass project of the Welland Canal, which resulted in the severance of several highways and rail lines.
