Route A70 Stop Shifts for Construction Work

WMATA Route A70 westbound stop at Old Dominion Dr closes April 24 through June 26

Route A70 Stop Closes April 24 for Construction

WMATA's Route A70 riders will need to use a different westbound stop starting Friday, April 24, 2026. The bus stop at Old Dominion Dr at Ingleside Ave (stop ID 5004762) closes temporarily due to construction work in the area. The closure affects only the westbound direction and is expected to last until June 26, 2026.

Construction Work Prompts Temporary Relocation

The closure stems from construction activity along Old Dominion Drive that makes the Ingleside Avenue stop temporarily inaccessible. WMATA didn't specify the nature of the construction project or which agency is conducting the work. Transit agencies routinely close bus stops during roadwork, utility projects, or infrastructure improvements to ensure passenger safety. The closure will remain in effect until further notice, though the transit agency provided a target reopening date of late June.

Alternative Stop Located at Beverly Road

Passengers should use the westbound stop at Old Dominion Dr at Beverly Rd (stop ID 5004759) during the closure period. The alternative stop is nearby and will serve as the temporary boarding location for the duration of construction. WMATA advised riders to allow extra time to reach the substitute stop and plan their trips accordingly. The transit agency said it'll provide updates on when the original Ingleside Avenue stop reopens.

Closure Begins Friday Morning

The stop closure takes effect Friday, April 24, 2026, and continues through at least June 26, 2026. WMATA didn't specify whether the closure affects all hours of service or only certain times of day. The transit agency encourages customers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive the latest service information as the construction project progresses.

Riders Should Plan for Stop Change

Route A70 passengers who regularly use the Ingleside Avenue stop should familiarize themselves with the Beverly Road alternative before the closure begins. The change affects only westbound service, so eastbound riders can continue using their regular stops. Moovit provides real-time updates for WMATA routes, helping riders navigate temporary service changes and find alternative stops during construction periods.
