Lift in of the first 28 profile expansion joint at the South end of the Izmit Bay Bridge in mid-May: Type MAURER DS 2800 F2, 100 mm gap width and a total width of 25.40 m. Already in service stage, the expansion joints with 28 lamellas accommodate movements of +/- 1,400 mm. In case of a 500 year seismic event they can accommodate +/- 3,770 mm. The 4 m additional displacement is facilitated by a fusebox, which can be considered as a safety valve
