Temporary Rail Trail Closure Near New Bern Station

Published on September 08, 2025

Rider’s Alert
Blue Line
Effective: Sept. 8, 2025

Beginning Monday, Sept. 8, a portion of the Rail Trail near New Bern Station will be temporarily closed due to a drainage replacement project. Only one side of the rail trail will be closed at a time, allowing for an accessible detour. The closure is between Poindexter Drive and New Bern Street, behind the MAA Reserve Apartment Community (2720 South Boulevard).

Signs will be in place to guide Rail Trail users away from the affected area and back to an open portion of the trail. This portion of the Rail Trail is expected to be closed for approximately four months. We will provide updates as they are available and appreciate your patience during this time.

Blue Line operations should not be impacted by this project.
