This view of the 8-acre tract, surrounded by reinforcing boulders, was snapped before the 3 Vi-mile trestle (see piles) was erected. The local bus was the first .ever allow ed to visit the island. Two mile-long tunnels, connecting with the trestle, will complete the 17.6-mile span across the Bay.

It will be the longest combin ed bridge and tunnel in the world, and New Bern’s flow of tourist traffic from north to south and return is going to increase greatly as a direct result. The project required a Virginia bond issue of $200,000,000, but tolls will eventually foot the bill.
