C41 Stop Shifts for Construction Work
C41 bus stop at 14th and H Street NE closes for six months starting October 27
C41 Bus Stop Closes for Construction Work
Route C41 riders heading toward Anacostia will need to use alternate stops starting Monday as construction work forces a temporary closure on 14th Street NE. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the southbound stop at H Street will be closed from October 27, 2025, through April 22, 2026. Two nearby stops will serve as alternatives during the six-month closure.
Six-Month Closure Affects Single Stop
The closure affects stop #1001126 at 14th Street NE and H Street, a southbound boarding location for passengers traveling toward Anacostia. WMATA typically closes bus stops temporarily when street construction projects make it unsafe or impossible for buses to pull over and board passengers. The agency didn't specify what construction project is driving the closure or whether it's related to roadwork, utility improvements, or other infrastructure projects. Transit officials said the closure is necessary to accommodate the work safely.
Two Alternate Stops Designated
Passengers can board Route C41 at two alternative locations during the closure. The first alternate stop is at 14th Street NE and F Street NE, with stop ID #1001038. The second option is at Bladensburg Road NE and H Street NE, designated as stop #1001164. Both stops serve the same southbound direction toward Anacostia. Officials didn't say whether the alternate stops will require passengers to walk farther than the closed location or how the changes might affect travel times.
Closure Begins Late October
The stop closure takes effect Monday, October 27, 2025, and will remain in place until April 22, 2026. WMATA customer support is available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 8 pm, and on weekends from 8 am to 8 pm. Officials didn't say whether the closure could be extended if construction work runs longer than expected or whether buses will return to the original stop location immediately after the April end date.
Riders Can Track Service Changes
Route C41 passengers should plan extra time for their trips and familiarize themselves with the alternate stop locations before the closure begins. WMATA officials said riders can sign up for MetroAlerts to receive updates about service changes, though the agency didn't specify whether it'll send notifications if the closure timeline changes. Moovit provides real-time bus tracking and alternate route suggestions for WMATA riders navigating service changes throughout the Washington metro area.
