It starts almost in the heart of the downtown section, rising to bridge the Allegheny Rfver. In 425 feet of concrete and steel splendor, it crosses the water. And then--nothing. , The north side of the bridge ends atop its concrete support- ing piles, just where workmen stopped three years ago. If you tried to drive across it --and people have--you'd plum- met 90 feet to concrete pave- ment. That's what happened to the one person who made it past the barricades. No one has been killed. But With every new bruise the state of Pennsylvania puts up some more barricades. It also talks about finishing the bridge. When construction started in the 1950s, plans called for the bridge to connect with a net- work of highways to be built on the city's north side. Delays occurred when plans for a new sports stadium and urban redevelopment projects on the north side began taking shape. Other problems. cropped up There were labor troubles. Then a congressman charged that the bridge was made with sub standard concrete. A consulting firm later said this was false. Drivers started knocking down barricades. Newspapers poked fun at the bridge. The span has a name -- the Fort Duquesne Bridge--but everybody started calling it "the bridge to no- where." Gradually it became a landmark. The state started the bridge The state will complete it. But it can't be finished until it has some roads to be connected with. That's the city's problem The city says it's ready any- time the state is. The state says it's ready anytime the city is. BRIDGE OPENS A WIDER GULF OTTAWA (CP)--The Mac- donald-Cartier Bridge will be bilingual at the Quebec end- and unilingual at the Ontario end 'Neither Cartier nor Mac- donald would tolerate such a thing,' reads the headline of the French-language daily Le Droit Thursday over a report on the signs. Traffic signs on the Ontario approaches to the bridge, to open this fall, warn in Eng- lish: No stopping on bridge. Ramp speed 25. One way. Do not enter. Engineer Lloyd Walker said the Ontario Highways Act makes no provision for bilin- gual signs The highways department only put up bilingual signs on certain inter-provincial roads to welcome visitors from Que- bec. Paul Douville of the Quebec roads department said traffic signs on the Quebec ap- approaches to the bridge will be either bilingual or sym- belie Quebec is gradually imple- menting the _ international symbols system to avoid the confusion caused by unilin- gual or bilingual signs. The bridge across the Ot- tawa River is within sight of Parliament. It will be a major artery for Quebec - Ontario traffic here and is named after Sir John A. Macdonald and Sir Georges-Etienne Cartier, key figures in Confederation. NEWS IN BRIEF SEEK MEXICAN VISITORS MEXICO CITY (AP) -- W.
