The A146 is a federal trunk road in Russia . It connects the M4 and A290 roads in the Kuban region of southern Russia and thus represents an alternative route from the regional administration center Krasnodar to the Black Sea port of Novorossiysk . It is part of the European route 115 Yaroslavl - Novorossiysk.
The road runs largely along the northern foot of the western part of the Greater Caucasus , on the edge of the plain traversed by the Kuban . The area is dominated by agriculture and densely populated; a series of densely populated stanizas and settlements are crossed or bypassed. On its westernmost section, the road climbs through the valley of the Bakanka river into the wooded, still 500 m high western foothills of the Caucasus and, when connecting to the M25, reaches about 275 m below the Volchji Vorota pass ("Wolf's Gate") their maximum height above sea level.
The road follows the Timashevskaya - Krasnodar - Novorossiysk railway line along its entire length, partly immediately, partly several kilometers to the north .
