All Lanes Open Today On Mai Manhattan Bridge By Molly Gordy All seven lanes of the Manhattan Bridge will be opened to traffic today for the first time in 20 months, as the crossing undergoes a 16-month lull in construction, the state Department of Transportation said. Two Manhattan-bound traffic lanes and a subway track on the bridge's east side have been closed since April, 1986, when severe corrosion was found in an eyebar anchoring one of the structure's four suspension cables. The two closed lanes reopen today, restoring full service to the 150,000 motorists who daily use the 79- -old bridge, state DOT spokeswoman Phyllis Hirshberg confirmed.

Service will be reduced again in 16 months, when construction resumes on the west side of the bridge. Subway riders are not as fortunate, the Transit Authority said. Although service on the east side track will resume over the Manhattan Bridge on Sunday, the track on the west side be taken out of service the same day for several years of repairs. Ridership is expected to remain at its current reduced level of 104,000, TA officials said, and full service to 219,000 Corrections Irish singer Phil Coulter will perform at the Tilles Center at the C.W. Post campus of Long Island University next Thursday, and at Lehman Center for the Performing Arts Sunday, Dec.

18. Incorrect dates were given in a story in Thursday's Part II. An article about Jacques Coe, 95, in the Nov. 26 Life Over 60 page in Part II incorrectly stated the age when he emigrated from Amsterdam; he was 8. It also misstated the amount of money he has contributed to the American Chess Foundation; he has given between $3,000 and $4,000 in each of the past 20 years.

A story in yesterday's New York Newsday erroneously said that federal courts have ruled that the structure of the city's Board of Estimate has "disenfranchised racial minorities." The courts have ruled that the board violated the one person-one vote dictum. Clarification Mayor Edward I. Koch is a member of a delegation of big city mayors that would like to meet with President-elect George Bush to discuss urban woes. An article in yesterday's New York Newsday implied he would meet one-on-one with Bush. straphangers is not expected to resume until the end of the century, when all structural repairs to the bridge are complete.

The East River crossing that links Brooklyn and Manhattan serves the and lines. The state DOT, which is managing the project for the city, is halting construction for 16 months beginning today while it reworks the design and searches for a replacement contractor. The original contractor has quit. The Manhattan Bridge reconstruction project has been in progress for six years. It originally was conceived to correct a severe design flaw in the structure that causes it to twist two to eight feet each time the 500-ton subway trains cross on the east and west sides of the spans.

If all had gone as planned, the first phase of the project strengthening the bridge's side spans and approaches, rebuilding the upper roadways and installing heavier lateral supports on the lower roadway should have been completed by the end of this month, at a cost of $44 million. Instead, that phase is less than half-complete, at a cost of almost $35 million. Man Hurt In Plunge An ironworker was seriously injured yesterday when he slipped and fell seven stories from a building under construction in midtown Manhattan, police said. Joseph Condo, 36, of Brewster, N.Y., was in 1 critical condition last night at Bellevue Hospital with a broken neck, a broken leg, two broken arms and multiple internal injuries. The accident occurred at 3:52 p.m.

as Condo was standing on a column of iron at American Towers, a building under construction at West 45th Street and Sixth Avenue, said Det. James Coleman, a police spokesman. Condo slipped and fell at least seven stories, Coleman said, landing on an adjoining roof on the same building site. The project is being built by the Turner Construction Co. Company officials could not be reached for comment last night.
