WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Brightline continues to work on extending its service to Orlando, but it will cause some delays and closures for drivers in northern Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast.
Officials with the company issued a construction advisory on Monday, saying residents can expect some delays while they continue to test and build infrastructure.
