Some Green and Pink Line riders are going to have to change up their commute while a construction project in the Loop closes the Lake Street Bridge.

The CTA has been sending workers out at Green and Pink Line stations to alert riders about changes that start next Tuesday.

Replacement of train tracks and other parts of the double-decker bridge will mean no Pink Line trains will run in the Loop.

CDOT plans to close the bridge that was originally built over the Chicago River in 1916 starting at 2 a.m. Oct. 13.

Riders can transfer from the Blue Line at the Racine Station to take the Pink Line south and west all the way to 54th and Cermak.

Green Line trains will run between Harlem/Lake and Clinton, where shuttle buses can take riders to Clark/Lake.

Bridge work is slated to be done at 4 a.m. Oct. 26.

The CTA says service will not be affected during the Chicago Marathon.
