The invention disclosed relates to a precast composite header joint system and method for forming and installing the same in a concrete deck structure. According to the invention, the header is cast and cured before being positioned and secured in a recess formed in one of the concrete slabs. A viscous bonding agent is then poured into the void spaces between the header and the concrete slab recess. The bonding agent cures and forms a solid material which fills all of the space between the header and the concrete slab recess. Adjacent headers installed in opposing concrete slab recesses are coupled together by a joint to provide a continuous deck structure.
