WMATA A70 Stop Closes April 24 for Construction
Paragraph 1
Route A70 riders in the Old Dominion Drive area will need to use a different bus stop starting this week. WMATA announced the westbound stop at Old Dominion Dr at Ingleside Ave will close Friday, April 24, 2026, due to construction work. The closure affects stop ID 5004762 and is expected to last until June 26, transit officials said.
Paragraph 2
The temporary closure is part of ongoing construction activities in the region, according to the transit authority. WMATA operates Metro services including rail, bus, and MetroAccess throughout the Washington DC metropolitan area. Construction-related stop closures typically require riders to walk additional distances to alternative boarding locations. The agency said the closure will remain in effect until further notice, though current estimates point to a June 26 reopening.
Paragraph 3
Passengers are advised to use an alternative bus stop located at Old Dominion Dr at Beverly Rd, designated as stop ID 5004759, for boarding and exiting buses. The relocated stop serves as the primary alternative during the construction period. WMATA didn't specify the exact distance between the closed stop and the alternative location. Transit officials said riders should plan their trips accordingly and allow extra time for the stop relocation.
Paragraph 4
The closure takes effect Friday, April 24, 2026, and is scheduled to last approximately two months. WMATA encourages customers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive real-time service information and updates about the closure. Officials didn't provide details about the specific construction project causing the closure or whether additional stops might be affected.
Paragraph 5
Route A70 riders should expect minor delays as they adjust to the temporary stop relocation. Customers can contact WMATA customer support at 202.GO.METRO for additional information about alternative boarding locations. Moovit provides real-time updates for WMATA routes, helping riders navigate temporary service changes and find the nearest available stops during construction periods.
