Headline
WMATA A70 Bus Stop Closes April 24 for Work
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 bus stop closures typically require riders to walk additional distances to alternative stops. 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 temporary pickup and dropoff point for Route A70's westbound service during the construction period. Officials didn't specify the exact distance between the closed stop and the alternative location. WMATA encourages customers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive real-time service information and updates.
Paragraph 4
The closure takes effect Friday, April 24, 2026, and is scheduled to last until June 26, according to the advisory. That timeline gives the construction project approximately two months to complete work in the area. Officials haven't said whether the June 26 date could change based on construction progress. Passengers using Route A70 should plan their trips accordingly and allow extra time for the stop relocation.
Paragraph 5
Route A70 riders should expect to walk to the alternative stop location during the closure period. Officials said passengers may need additional time to reach the temporary stop at Old Dominion Dr at Beverly Rd. Moovit provides real-time updates for WMATA routes, helping riders track bus arrivals and plan trips around service changes. The transit authority said customers can also contact WMATA customer support at 202.GO.METRO for additional information about the closure.
