Caribensun Posted October 27, 2015 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Just back from a So.Caribbean cruise with a stop at Curaçao and the Queen Emna (walking) floating bridge is gone. They hope to have a new one completed Jan/Feb. currently a ferry is running in its place. It is a further walk going past the area of the floating bridge and ferry runs every 30 minutes taking tourists and locals into town.

Grego Posted October 27, 2015 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Thanks for the update. I thought for a minute that they had some tragic event that took out the bridge....but no. We aren't scheduled to get back to Curacao anytime soon so when we do it will be nice to see the new bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kikkycat Posted October 28, 2015 #3 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Bummer! I was looking forward to watching it from one of the canal-side pubs in a couple weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted October 30, 2015 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Someone on my roll call just posted the bridge will be open by the end of this week. It's on our itinerary and last time we were in Curacao in Feb, we didn't have time to go after our excursion so we were looking forward to exploring and walking across. Also, FYI, the ferry runs every few minutes, not every 30. It only takes about 2 minutes to cross. Edited October 30, 2015 by BND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BND Posted October 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2015 According to someone on my roll call, the bridge is now open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
