To provide a bridge expansion joint such as a highway bridge or the like having few risk less than the conventional bridge expansion joint in relation to an accident.

The bridge expansion joint including a load supporting steel plate 2 coated with a rubber material 1 and a fixing steel plate 3 is continuously formed by a shear deformation section 4 for the rubber material 1, the expansion of a distance of an expansion spacing with the environmental temperature variation by a shear deformation of the shear deformation section 4 can be absorbed and, at the same time, the inside layer of the rubber material 1 on the side of the surface layer of the steel plates is molded by using a plurality of colored rubbers.
