Transportable modular bridge

The modular system of 6, wherein each of the transverse hubs comprises a hub top flange cover plate removably attachable by cover plate threaded fasteners to the remainder of the transverse hub to clamp the end of one of the roadway deck panels between the hub bottom flange plate and the hub top flange cover plate.

A module for use with a roadway deck panel to form a portion of a roadway surface of a bridge comprising a plurality of transversely spaced apart longitudinal frame members supported on foundation elements, the module comprising:

• (a) a transverse hub defining a transverse ledge for supporting an end of one of the roadway deck panels;
• and
• (b) a plurality of transversely spaced apart hub attachment clamps attached to the transverse hub, wherein each of the hub attachment clamps is adapted for clamping a top flange of one of the longitudinal frame members against the transverse hub, and wherein each of the hub attachment clamps is movable transversely relative to the transverse hub to selectively disengage or engage the top flange of one of the longitudinal frame members.

An assembly for splicing together a pair of longitudinal frame members of a bridge, the assembly comprising:

• (a) for each one of the longitudinal frame members, a bearing support attached to the one of the longitudinal frame members between a top flange and a bottom flange of the one of the longitudinal frame members, wherein the bearing support defines a bearing support aperture;
• and
• (b) an anchor bolt extending through the bearing support aperture of each of the bearing supports, and a nut at each end of the anchor bolt for tensioning the anchor bolt and bearing against one of the bearing supports.
