While showing a stunning waterfront condominium yesterday, my client turned to me and remarked, "There goes the bridge". I looked out the window at the expansive Neuse River and saw the swing portion of New Bern's Alfred Cunningham Bridge floating down the river on 2 barges. What a thrilling site!
For a bit of background, the bridge was closed a few months ago and will be completely rebuilt. It was opened in 1955, withstood many a hurricane but could no longer be repaired. I have linked a video of the removal process http://www.wcti12.com/MediaStation.asp?VIDREF=mms://206.107.99.17/NewsFeatures/feat12.wmv but if you can't see it from this link, go to http://www.wcti12.com/ and look at the video of the bridge.
