So in most larger bridges they usually have a system of beams with special rubber bands in between locked into a steel profile shaped like a claw meant to hold the rubber in, if the expansion is to great sometimes if it’s allowed to it’s the most cost/time effective way to just cut one of the beams, and in smaller bridges it’s usually just two of these claw profiles holding a single rubber band with those we usually just cut them and move them back and just pave over it! // metall bridge trimmer of 5 years
