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.
