CHICAGO — The Red, Green and Pink lines will see stations closed and routes changed over the weekend.

And though there will be temporary closures on the "L," there will be additional bus service for Sunday's Bears game at Soldier Field.

The changes and closures — due to maintenance and construction — include:

• The 63rd Street station on the Red Line will be closed 10 p.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Sunday. Trains will bypass the station. There will be free shuttle buses between the Garfield and 69th Street stations during the closure.

• Green and Pink Line trains will not run between the Clinton and Clark/Lake stations for the entire day on Sunday. There will be free shuttle buses between the stations. Riders going from Clark and Lake and headed to Harlem and Lake can take a free shuttle bus at LaSalle and Lake. Those going to the Loop from Clinton can take a free shuttle bus from Clinton and Lake streets.

• During Sunday's closure, Green Line trains will run in both directions between Harlem/Lake and Clinton and between Ashland/63rd-Cottage Grove and the Loop. In the Loop, trains will follow Orange Line trains and stop at Harold Washington Library.

• Pink Line trains will run in both directions between 54th/Cermak and Clinton. There will be no Pink Line trains in the Loop during Sunday's closure.

• There will be a shuttle train going counterclockwise around the Loop, making all stops.

Regular service on the Green and Pink lines will resume 4 a.m. Monday.

There will also be special service for the Bears game at noon Sunday. The Bears take on the 49ers at Soldier Field.

The additional service will start at 9 a.m. Sunday and end an hour after the game finishes. Here are those changes:

• The No. 128 Soldier Field Express will run between Union Station, Ogilvie and Soldier Field.

• There will be additional No. 146 service Inner Drive/Michigan Express service, as well.
