The consultants, who conducted the inspection for the State Department of Transportation, said that after the roadway brackets are strenghtened, the outer roadways will again be capable of carrying passenger cars. The Queensboro Bridge, currently being repainted, is the most heavily traveled East River crossing used by 145,000 vehicles daily.

Carey gets OK for British-Irish talks By ALFRED MIELE Both outer lanes of the 70-year-old Queensboro Bridge will be closed to all auto and truck traffic for at least three years because rock salt used to melt snow and ice has eaten through structural beams supporting the roadway. The Queensboro was the first of the four major East River spans to be inspected under an over-all rehabilitation plan and was the first to flunk.

Inspectors are now surveying the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges. Yesterday's decision, which reduces the number of lanes open to vehicular traffic on the Queensboro Bridge from 11 to nine, resulted from the findings of an engineering consultant firm, STein-man, Boynton, Gronquist and Birdsell. Eaten away by rock salt The firm reported that the floor beam brackets supporting the outer roadways of the double cantilever bridge had deteriorated, primarily because of rock salt that literally "eats up" the structural steel. The consultants urged that the roadways be closed to all but cyclists and pedestrians until completion of a $2.5 million rehabilitation financed with federal and city funds. Originally designed to carry a trolley line, the outer roadways had been restricted to noncommercial traffic and were closed for the study in late June.

The south outer roadway is now used as a bikeway and pedestrian path. The engineering consultants' report on the Queensboro Bridge noted that some sections of the outer roadways were still capable of holding a 10-ton vehicle. Others, however, were found to be unable to carry a three-ton load.
