Abstract
A dilation joint adjustably interconnecting the structural edges of a bridge opening. The dilation joint includes two continuity metallic plates in a transit plane, connected to the structural edges of the opening and to lower structural elements in such a way that a recess is formed on each side of the opening, each recess formed between one of the metallic plates and its corresponding lower structural element. A support structure spans the opening, supported by both structural edges. The support structure is slidably received in a first one of the recesses, and it slidably supports a deformable transit plane, which is slidably received in the other of the recesses.
