There Will Be No Pink Line Service In The Loop This Weekend

This weekend, Pink Line service will be suspended in the Loop, and Green Line service will be suspended between the Clinton and Clark/Lake stops. Both service changes are due to maintenance work on the Lake Street Bridge.

During the service disruption, slated to last from 5 a.m. on Saturday through 4 a.m. on Monday, the Pink Line will run continue to run both ways between 54th/Cermak and Clinton—it just won't run in the Loop. However, a shuttle train will be operating counterclockwise around the Loop, making all stops.

As for the Green Line, the CTA explains it best:

Green Line trains will continue to operate in both directions, but in two sections: between Harlem/Lake and Clinton, and also between Ashland/63rd-Cottage Grove and the Loop. In the Loop, Green Line trains will follow Orange Line trains clockwise, first stopping at Harold Washington Library before continuing on to Ashland/63rd and Cottage Grove.

To counterbalance the Green Line service change, free shuttle buses will be ferrying riders between the southeast corner of LaSalle, near the Clark/Lake stop, and the west side of Clinton Street just south of Lake Street, near the Clinton stop.

Good luck out there!
