Abstract: A bracket attachable to a top side of a parapet on a bridge to support a platform positioned on a horizontal element of the bracket. Vertical adjustment of the bracket allows the horizontal element to be positioned a small distance beneath the bridge deck so that the platform positioned thereon can catch falling materials, such as from demolition during bridge repair. After demolition, vertical adjustment of the bracket brings the horizontal element supporting the platform to a level directly under the bridge deck for use as a formwork for construction of a new roadway.
