Ishim ()

Between Kazan and Igra, the road takes a detour over Yelabuga, because the shortest route between Kazan and Igra uses a ferry over the Vyatka River (), and the road is a bad gravel road around that area. Google Maps shows the to use the ferry, but that is inaccurate; the UN convention lists Yelabuga along a paved road without any ferry. Both routes are visible in Google Streetview. A much used shortcut is Izhevsk - Votkinsk - Perm.

Between Perm and Ishim, the follows the Trans-Siberian Railway.
