WMATA Adjusts Route C41 Service for Construction
WMATA closes Route C41 stop on 14th Street NE until April 2026 due to construction
WMATA Closes Route C41 Stop on 14th Street NE
Route C41 riders heading toward Anacostia won't be able to board at the 14th Street NE and H Street stop starting Monday, October 27, 2025. The Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority announced the southbound stop closure at stop ID #1001126 due to construction work that'll last until April 22, 2026. Two alternate boarding locations have been designated for passengers during the six-month closure period.
Construction Project Spans Six Months
The 14th Street NE construction project represents one of several infrastructure improvements WMATA coordinates with District agencies throughout the year. Transit officials said the work requires closing the southbound stop to ensure passenger safety and allow contractors adequate workspace. The agency typically provides alternate stop locations within two to three blocks of closed stops to minimize walking distances for riders. WMATA didn't specify what type of construction work necessitates the closure or which District agency is managing the project.
Two Alternate Stops Designated for Riders
Passengers can use two nearby stops while the H Street location remains closed. The first alternate stop is at 14th Street NE and F Street NE, designated as stop ID #1001038, located approximately one block south of the closed stop. The second option is at Bladensburg Road NE and H Street NE, stop ID #1001164, positioned east of the construction zone. Both alternate stops serve Route C41's southbound direction toward Anacostia. Officials didn't indicate whether the alternate stops will have additional signage or whether service frequency will be adjusted to accommodate the temporary routing.
Closure Runs Through Spring 2026
The stop closure takes effect Monday, October 27, 2025, and will remain in place until April 22, 2026. WMATA customer support is available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 8 pm and weekends from 8 am to 8 pm for riders with questions about the closure. The agency encourages passengers to sign up for MetroAlerts to receive updates about service changes, though officials didn't say whether they'll provide advance notice before the stop reopens.
Riders Should Plan for Alternate Boarding
Route C41 passengers who regularly use the 14th Street NE and H Street stop should add extra time to their commutes to reach one of the two alternate boarding locations. The closure affects only the southbound direction toward Anacostia, while northbound service continues at existing stops. Riders can check Moovit for real-time Route C41 updates and directions to the nearest alternate stop during the construction period.
