WMATA Adjusts Route A76 Stop for Construction

WMATA relocates northbound A76 bus stop on S Carlin Springs Rd for construction work

WMATA Route A76 Stop Moves Due to Construction

Riders using the northbound Route A76 bus stop at S Carlin Springs Rd at 5th Rd S will need to board at a new location starting Monday, April 20, 2026. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the temporary relocation to accommodate construction work in the area. The stop will move from the far side to the near side of 6th Rd, remaining in effect until further notice with an advisory period through April 20, 2027.

Construction Drives Stop Relocation

The temporary relocation of stop ID #6000228 is necessary to accommodate ongoing construction work along S Carlin Springs Rd, according to WMATA. Transit agencies routinely adjust stop locations during infrastructure projects to maintain safe boarding areas while construction proceeds. The change affects only the northbound direction of Route A76, with customers able to board and exit buses at the new temporary location. WMATA didn't specify details about the construction project prompting the relocation.

Stop Shifts to Near Side of Intersection

The relocated bus stop will move from the far side of 6th Rd to the near side of the intersection, WMATA confirmed. Far-side stops are typically positioned after an intersection, while near-side stops are placed before the cross street. The new temporary location will serve Route A76 riders throughout the construction period. Officials said customers will be able to board and exit buses normally at the relocated stop, though they didn't provide information about whether the stop will include shelter or seating amenities.

Relocation Effective Through April 2027

The stop relocation takes effect Monday, April 20, 2026, and is scheduled to remain in place until further notice. WMATA's advisory period extends through April 20, 2027, indicating the temporary change could last up to one year depending on construction progress. Officials didn't provide a specific end date for when the stop will return to its original location.
