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

Route A76 Stop Moves on S Carlin Springs Rd

Riders catching the northbound A76 bus at S Carlin Springs Rd at 5th Rd S will need to walk to a new temporary stop location starting Monday, April 20, 2026. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the stop relocation to accommodate construction work in the area. The change affects stop ID #6000228, which will move from the far side to the near side of 6th Rd.

Construction Drives Stop Change

The temporary relocation is necessary to accommodate ongoing construction work along S Carlin Springs Rd, transit officials said. WMATA regularly adjusts bus stop locations when roadwork or development projects affect passenger boarding areas. The agency didn't specify what type of construction is taking place or which contractor is performing the work. Transit authorities typically coordinate with local jurisdictions and construction companies to minimize disruptions while maintaining safe boarding conditions for riders.

Stop Remains Closed Until Further Notice

The original stop location will remain closed until further notice, with an advisory period extending through April 20, 2027, according to WMATA. Customers will be able to board and exit buses at the new temporary location on the near side of 6th Rd. Officials didn't provide an estimated timeline for when the stop might return to its original location. The agency said the relocation will remain in effect for the duration of construction activity in the area.

Change Takes Effect April 20

The stop relocation takes effect Monday, April 20, 2026, WMATA confirmed. Transit officials said customers should allow extra time to locate the new temporary stop on their first trip after the change. The agency encourages passengers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive service information updates. For additional assistance, customers can contact WMATA customer support at 202.GO.METRO during weekday hours from 7 am to 8 pm, or weekend hours from 8 am to 8 pm.

Riders Should Plan for New Stop Location
