Brightline stated that the topping-off event will be ‘commemorated with a ceremonial signing of a beam inside the train station’.

The firm is collaborating with the City of Boca Raton and the Federal Railroad Administration on the project. It secured a CRISI grant of $16.4m for the project.

Upon completion, the station will help passengers to travel from Boca Raton to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and West Palm Beach.
