Fort Lauderdale station is a higher-speed rail train station located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. It is served by All Aboard Florida's Brightline train, which connects Miami, West Palm Beach, and eventually Orlando International Airport. The station is located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on NW 2nd Avenue between Broward Boulevard and NW 4th Street, adjacent to the Broward County Transit's Central Terminal.

History

Construction for the station began October 2014 with the demolition of existing structures on the site. The complex when completed will consist of an elevated concourse above an 800-foot long, 35-foot wide island platform for the trains. The station will be a modern style structure with illuminated V-shaped columns supporting the upper concourse echoing the designs of the Miami and West Palm Beach stations also under construction on the line. It was planned and designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill in association with Zyscovich Architects. It was completed in January 2018.

Station layout

The station is served by Sun Trolley, as well as Broward County Transit. Service will eventually continue south to MiamiCentral and north past West Palm Beach to Orlando Airport.
