A bridge for a conveyor system comprising:

• a bridge frame including a top support surface segment having a top support surface, the bridge frame further including first and second side walls extending downwardly away from the top support surface segment, each side wall having a portion thereof with a radius of curvature substantially matching a corresponding conveyor roller;
• and
• an elastic bladder that forms at least a portion of a space providing an expandable brake chamber, such that a pressurized fluid introduced into the brake chamber causes the bladder to expand to provide a braking force to adjacent conveyor rollers;
• wherein a portion of the first side wall extends toward and joins the second side wall, the second side wall further having a tail portion and a living hinge extending away from the tail portion.
