PURPOSE: A flexible connector for a bridge is provided to make up for defects of existing bridge connectors by forming the structure with a high elasticity and an easy installment preventing water or fine sediment from infiltrating into the connecting area of a bridge. CONSTITUTION: The flexible connector for bridge is composed of: a couple of fixing rails(1) holding a V-shaped flexible connector(10) at each side, numbers of holding bolts(8) fixing the V-shaped flexible connector(10) inserted into a holding groove(4) together with a bolt guide(9), a couple of brackets(6) provided with a fixing bolt block(5) and a fixing bolt, therefore connected to the rail by the bolt, plus tightly held by a horizontal reinforcing bar(17), a holding groove(2) receiving and finally holding the V-shaped flexible connector(10) with the bolt(8) and bolt guide(9). In the final process all the parts connected each other are covered by asphalt concrete except the area between segments of a bridge where the flexible connector is installed.
