Route A76 Stop Relocates for Construction Work

Route A76 northbound stop on S Carlin Springs Rd relocates April 20 due to construction

Route A76 Stop Moves on S Carlin Springs Rd

Riders using Route A76 on S Carlin Springs Rd will need to board at a new location starting Monday. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the northbound bus stop at 5th Rd S (stop ID #6000228) will relocate April 20, 2026, due to construction. The temporary change will remain in effect until further notice, officials said.

Construction Drives Stop Relocation

The stop relocation is necessary to accommodate ongoing construction work in the area, according to the transit authority. WMATA operates both bus and rail services throughout the Washington metropolitan area, regularly adjusting stop locations to work around infrastructure projects and roadwork. The agency didn't specify what type of construction is taking place or which entity is managing the project. Transit officials said the temporary arrangement allows Route A76 service to continue without interruption while construction proceeds.

Stop Moves to Near Side of Intersection

The bus stop will move from the far side to the near side of 6th Rd, officials confirmed. Customers will be able to board and exit buses at the new temporary location. The advisory is effective from April 20, 2026, through April 20, 2027, though officials said the relocation will continue "until further notice," suggesting the actual duration depends on construction progress. WMATA didn't provide details about how far riders will need to walk between the old and new stop locations or whether temporary signage will be installed to direct passengers.

Change Takes Effect Monday

The relocation is scheduled to begin Monday, April 20, 2026. Transit officials didn't say whether advance signage will be posted at the current stop location before the change takes effect. Passengers are encouraged to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive service information updates. WMATA provides various customer support options including phone lines and online resources for riders seeking additional information about the temporary stop change.

Riders Should Plan for New Boarding Location

Route A76 riders who regularly use the S Carlin Springs Rd stop should allow extra time Monday to locate the new boarding area. The stop's relocation to the near side of 6th Rd means passengers may need to adjust their walking routes to reach the temporary location.
