Most highway bridges are built with expansion joints that can move back and forth. What is the reason for this?

• The bridge expands and contracts as the weather changes. The joints make sure the bridge doesn't fall apart.

• The joints do nothing. they are just a nice design.

• If a bridge has expansion joints it will fall apart.

• The expansion joints are meant to help break the bridge.
