Construction at Pentagon Transit Center will create the potential for delays to buses entering and exiting the facility. Buses will need to travel on a limited use access road as improvements are underway. Customers are encouraged to add up to 15 minutes additional time to their trip.

Metrobus personnel are positioned at the Transit Center during key service times to monitor bus schedules and provide customer assistance.

Bus stop changes for routes 10A, 10E, 13Y, 16A, 16B, 16D, 16E, 16J, 16K and 16P:
Two bus stops will be temporarily discontinued during the Pentagon Transit Center construction --

• Army Navy Drive & Eads Street
• Army Navy Drive & Fern Street

Customers may board buses at the temporary bus stop located on Fern Street (Westside) & Army Navy Drive (Northside).

Improvements to pedestrian access and the Transit Center bus bays at Pentagon are made possible through a Federal TIGER grant. Please be mindful of construction-related activity with the area.
