An adjustable side member for use in a bridge overhang bracket assembly, the bridge overhang bracket assembly comprising top and diagonal members, the adjustable side member comprising:

• a threaded rod for pivotal attachment to the top member;
• an upper strut comprising a nut bracket having an internal thread engaging the threaded rod so that rotating the threaded member about its longitudinal axis adjusts a length of the side member;
• and
• a lower strut for pivotal attachment to the diagonal member, the lower strut fastenable to the upper strut according to a plurality of longitudinal positions to adjust the length of the side member.

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;
• and
• a side member extending lengthwise between bottom and top ends, the top and side members being pivotally attached proximate to the respective inner and top ends thereof, the diagonal and side members being pivotally attached proximate to the respective lower and bottom ends thereof, the side member comprising upper and lower struts that are fastenable together in a plurality of longitudinal positions so that the length of the side member is adjustable, the side member comprising a threaded member that is coupled to the upper strut such that rotating the threaded member further adjusts the length of the side member.
