Actually current thinking is that not only will it expand forever but the
rate
of expansion is acellerating. Do search on "dark energy astronomy" and
you can
find some interesting articles

I think that the universe will expand until it reaches a certain size, and
then just stop expanding. Then it will rest in solid state by its own
gravity.
