CTA Green Line L trains are skipping five stations this weekend because of construction work.

Green Line trains are running only between Cottage Grove-Ashland/63rd and Laramie until 4 a.m. Monday, according to the CTA, skipping their normal stops at Central, Austin, Ridgeland, Oak Park and Harlem/Lake stations.

Riders can use free shuttle buses to and from those stations, the CTA says.

Similar work is set for four more weekends between now and the end of June because of the Green Line “West Track Renewal Project,” which is replacing rails and ties and making other improvements aimed at smoothing out the ride and keeping trains from having to slow down because of poor track conditions.
