Detailed Solution

To ensure the expansion does not damage the bridge one end of the bridge is kept fixed and other end is free.
A steel bridge expands in the summer due to thermal expansion. So the joints between two bridge slabs are provided with expansion gaps. Also, one end of the bridge is kept fixed while the other is kept on rollers for the bridge's movement. This mechanism makes the thermal expansion of the bridge easy.
