The six-month closure is part of ongoing construction work in the 14th Street NE corridor, according to the transit agency. WMATA regularly adjusts bus stop locations to accommodate infrastructure projects, street improvements, and utility work throughout the Washington metropolitan area. Officials said the construction work necessitates the temporary closure, though specific details about the project weren't provided. Transit agencies typically coordinate with local governments and contractors to minimize service disruptions during construction periods.

WMATA has designated two alternate boarding locations for Route C41 passengers during the closure. The first temporary stop is at 14th Street NE and F Street NE, stop #1001038, while the second is at Bladensburg Road NE and H Street NE, stop #1001164. Both locations will serve southbound riders heading toward Anacostia throughout the construction period. Officials didn't specify walking distances from the closed stop to the alternate locations.
