Trent River Bridge Closed

The Alfred Cunningham drawbridge into downtown New Bern closed in the "open" position this past May, giving boaters docked at the two marinas easier access to the Neuse but making it more difficult for those driving to the historic district. Construction of the $39 million replacement bridge is expected to take 2 1/2 years and should be finished by November of 2009. Until then motorists are urged to take the Dr. M.L. King Jr. Boulevard exit or Pembroke Road ramp.

Colonial Place Makes
Its Mark in New Bern

Downtown New Bern is growing up. Colonial Place is a condo community designed around the best amenities. Ranging from 1,200 to 2,700 sq. ft., these homes offer a panoramic view of downtown New Bern from private covered porches, and a spacious roof deck with an outdoor fireplace and kitchen. Inside, the condominiums are open and airy, with lavish interior detailing, gourmet kitchens with cherry cabinets and granite counter tops, hardwood and ceramic floors, walk-in showers and Whirlpool tubs. Off-street parking is provided in a secured building with well-lit entryways, but because you are in the center of New Bern's historic district, everything you need is right around the corner within walking distance.
