WMATA Adjusts Route A76 Stop for Construction
WMATA relocates Route A76 northbound stop at S Carlin Springs Rd due to construction
WMATA Route A76 Stop Moves April 20
Riders using Route A76 at S Carlin Springs Rd will find their northbound bus stop in a new location starting Monday, April 20, 2026. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the temporary relocation of stop #6000228 due to construction work in the area. The stop will move from the far side to the near side of 6th Rd, where passengers can continue boarding and exiting buses.
Construction Drives Stop Change
The relocation accommodates ongoing construction work along S Carlin Springs Rd at 5th Rd S, transit officials said. WMATA regularly adjusts bus stop locations to maintain service during infrastructure projects and roadwork. The agency didn't specify what type of construction is underway or which entity is managing the project. Such temporary relocations typically involve moving stops 50 to 200 feet from their original positions to ensure passenger safety while maintaining access to transit service.
Stop Remains Relocated Through 2027
The temporary stop location will remain in effect until further notice, with WMATA's advisory period extending through April 20, 2027. Officials haven't said whether the relocation will last the full year or end sooner once construction wraps up. The agency typically reviews temporary stop changes quarterly and restores original locations when conditions allow. Riders should look for temporary signage marking the new stop position on the near side of 6th Rd, where WMATA will install standard bus stop markers and schedule information.
Change Takes Effect Monday Morning
The stop relocation takes effect at the start of service on Monday, April 20, 2026. Route A76 will begin using the temporary location for all northbound trips that day. Officials said passengers should allow extra time to locate the new stop position during the first few days after the change. WMATA didn't provide details about whether the southbound stop at the same intersection will be affected by construction.
Riders Can Track Route Changes
The stop relocation affects passengers who regularly use the northbound Route A76 service at S Carlin Springs Rd. Officials said riders should watch for updated stop locations and plan accordingly when traveling in the area.
