CHICAGO (WLS) -- CTA Brown Line riders should expect a change this weekend.

The CTA will reroute Brown Line trains to the Red Line subway from 8 p.m. Friday to 4 a.m. Monday.

The change affects stops from Armitage to the Loop. Bus shuttles will be available from Fullerton to Clark/Lake, making stops near the affected stations.

The work is part of the Ravenswood Connector Rehabilitation Project, which aims to eliminate slow zones.
