NEW BERN, N.C. (WITN) – The City of New Bern says the process of fixing the frozen clock at city hall has begun.
A New Bern spokesperson said Monday the parts to fix the clock have been ordered. The clock has been stuck at 4:07 for over two weeks. The city says it needed a complete replacement of the gearbox, costing $6,000.
The city says the repairs will take about six to eight weeks to complete.
The clock was also repaired in 2019 as part of a $130,000 project to modernize it and add automated adjustments during daylight saving time.
