CDOT work phase on Lake St Bridge affecting Green and Pink lines completes with normal start of service, Thursday, October 29, 2026
Green and Pink line trains are resuming normal service at their usual weekday start times (approx/before 4am) across their whole routes, including over the Loop 'L' as normally scheduled.
Trains were disrupted while the Chicago Department of Transportation removed and replaced the west leaf of the aging Lake Street Bridge over the South Branch of the Chicago River, downtown.
Work was extended due to unexpected circumstances for their crews but is now resuming service and we are now able to resume train service over the bridge.
CDOT and we, the CTA, apologize for the inconvenience this caused. See this press release for the official announcement.
