Construction of the Brightline West high speed rail to begin as Department of Labor has had deliberations with trade unions in states such as Nevadaand California toward the hiring process for this daring venture.
According to Brightline, the 218-mile rail line would connect passengers between Las Vegas and Rancho Cucamonga in about two hours. Accessible via the Metrolink from Rancho Cucamonga, one can continue onto downtown Los Angeles and it would take about 40 minutes.

Infill stations at Aventura and Boca Raton opened later that December, while the West Palm Beach to Orlando segment began revenue service in September 2023. More stops are being scheduled on the route
Construction in California will take place at several locations, while construction activities for the rail service’s Vegas stop are likely to begin also on the other side of state line and its efforts toward Nevada. As the project advances, workers from both states are likely to collaborate through it.
A major milestone followed the Biden administration’s approval of $3 billion in funding for the project last December, being an important step forward. |
