WMATA Adjusts Route C41 Service for Construction
WMATA closes Route C41 stop on 14th Street NE for six months of construction work
WMATA Closes Bus Stop on 14th Street for Six Months
Riders of WMATA's Route C41 will need to use alternate stops starting Monday, October 27, as the transit agency closes a southbound bus stop on 14th Street NE at H Street for construction work. The closure affects stop #1001126 toward Anacostia and will remain in effect until April 22, 2026. Transit officials said two nearby stops will serve as alternatives during the six-month closure period.
Construction Work Prompts Extended Stop Closure
The closure is part of construction work on 14th Street NE, though officials didn't specify the nature of the project or which agency is conducting the work. WMATA typically closes bus stops temporarily when street construction, utility work, or infrastructure projects make stops inaccessible or unsafe for boarding. The six-month timeline suggests substantial work in the area. Transit agencies generally coordinate with local governments and contractors to minimize service disruptions, though extended closures are sometimes necessary for major projects.
Two Alternate Stops Designated for Route C41 Riders
WMATA has designated two alternative boarding locations for affected passengers. The first alternate stop is at 14th Street NE and F Street NE, with stop ID #1001038, located one block south of the closed stop. The second option is at Bladensburg Road NE and H Street NE, with stop ID #1001164, positioned east of the closure. Both stops serve Route C41's southbound direction toward Anacostia. Officials didn't say whether the alternate stops will have additional signage or whether service frequency will change at either location.
Closure Begins Monday, Lasts Through April
The stop closure takes effect Monday, October 27, 2025, and will continue through April 22, 2026. WMATA customer support is available Monday through Friday from 7 am to 8 pm, and on weekends from 8 am to 8 pm for riders with questions about the closure. Officials encouraged passengers to sign up for service alerts to receive updates about any changes to the closure timeline or alternate stop locations.
Riders Should Plan for Alternate Boarding Locations
Route C41 passengers who regularly use the stop at 14th Street NE and H Street should allow extra time to walk to one of the two alternate stops during the closure period. The change affects southbound service toward Anacostia throughout the six-month construction timeline. Moovit provides real-time bus locations and alternate route options for WMATA riders navigating service changes.
