The A27 starts in the city of Aqtöbe on the M32 and ends at the border with Russia, where the road to Astrakhan continues. It is therefore the second main road in western Kazakhstan after the M32. The A27 runs through Qandyaghasch and Atyrau Town, along the northern side of the Caspian Sea . The A27 crosses several other A-roads on the route. The A28 in Atyrau is particularly important.

The last part before the Russian border runs through wetland with sandbanks. On the Russian side, the A340 continues to Astrakhan, which is about 60 kilometers from the border.
