A fire which broke out yesterday under the arch on the U.S. side of the new Rainbow bridge at Niagara Falls will not prevent the huge span from being opened to traffic next week as scheduled; it was announced today. The strength of the structure was believed in no way impaired; and damage can be easily repaired. Firemen battled the blaze several hours before bringing it under control.
