Brightline marks progress on MiamiCentral transportation hub


On Monday, the first of 247 massive precast concrete beams was lifted into place at Brightline's MiamiCentral transit-oriented development.

About four beams will be installed each day over the next eight to 10 weeks, Brightline officials said in a press release.

Incidentally TriRail has now gotten clearance to start working on its part of the station, even though full funding for the connecting tracks still needs to be nailed down.

Brightline has a YouTube channel under the name GoBrightline covering stations, equipment, and trackwork.

Here is a slideshow about the three stations now under construction.
