An item fabricated from steel rods. It consists of two separate identical sections, each having a side frame and a fluted center rod to which dowels are welded. In assembling the two sections as a unit, the free end of each dowel of each section engages a loop at the top of the side frame of the other section and the center rods assume positions parallel to each other with a narrow space between. The center rods, in addition to serving as supports for the dowels, also serve as retainers for an expansion joint filler strip or a contraction joint steel plate when a strip or plate is installed in the space between them. It may be provided with tubes for installation on the dowels to provide clearance for expansion. It is specially designed for installation in the concrete at the contraction and/or expansion joints of highway or other concrete pavement to minimize the load transfer problems caused by heavy wheel loads.
