Bridge overhang bracket assembly

A bridge overhang bracket assembly, comprising:

• a top member extending lengthwise between inner and outer ends;
• a diagonal member extending lengthwise between lower and upper ends, the top and diagonal members being pivotally attached proximate to the respective outer and upper ends thereof, the diagonal member comprising at least one connection tab arranged intermediate the lower and upper ends, the connection tab for receiving a bolt to connect the top and diagonal members together in a shipping/storage position;
• a side member extending lengthwise between bottom and top ends, the diagonal and side members being pivotally attached proximate to the respective lower and bottom ends thereof;
• a first hanger element mounted to the top member, the first hanger element pivotally attached proximate to the top end of the side member;
• and
• a second hanger element mounted to the top member, the second hanger element for attaching the assembly to a tie rod.

A fastener assembly for securing a side rail to a T-bolt channel, the side rail having an opening, the T-bolt channel having an opening width, an inner width and interior edges, the fastener assembly comprising:

• a clamp member comprising an inner side, an opposed outer side, and a bore extending along a bore axis through the clamp member between the inner and outer sides;
• a bolt comprising a head at the inner side of the clamp member and a body extending through the bore, the head having a width and a length each perpendicular to the bore axis, the width being smaller than the opening width of the T-bolt channel and the length being larger than the opening width and smaller than the inner width of the T-bolt channel, the bolt being slidable relative to the clamp member along the bore axis between a retracted position in which the head is proximate to the inner side and an advanced position in which the head is spaced from the inner side;
• a nut threaded onto the body of the bolt at the outer side of the clamp member;
• and
• a biasing member arranged between the clamp member and the nut to bias the bolt to the retracted position,
• wherein, in the advanced position, the bolt is rotatable relative to the clamp member about the bore axis between (i) unlocked engagement in which the head is insertable through the opening of the side rail into the T-bolt channel, and (ii) locked engagement in which the head is arranged to engage the overlapping interior edges of the T-bolt channel, with the biasing member urging the head against the T-bolt channel in a first direction and the clamp member against the side rail in a second direction opposite the first direction.
