The　expansion　devices　(expansion　joints)　can　be　eliminated　in　jointless　bridges　to　fundamentally　resolve　the　disease　and　maintenance　and　replacement　problems　caused　by　the　expansion　devices.　Compared　to　conventional　bridges,　jointless　bridges　without　deck　expansion　joint　have　the　advantages　of　low　maintenance　cost,　improved　ride　quality,　simple　and　economical　construction,　added　redundancy　and　capacity　during　seismic　and　other　extreme　events,　etc.　The　jointless　bridges　have　been　widely　used　in　developed　countries　due　to　excellent　economic　and　social　benefits;　however,　it　is　just　developing　in　China.　Thus,　in　order　to　increase　their　use　in　the　future,　this　paper　investigates　the　application　of　jointless　bridges　in　China.　Data　of　70　jointless　bridges　in　China　are　collected,　and　the　bridge　types,　length,　superstructure　and　substructure　types　as　well　as　the　technology　characteristics　are　analyzed.　This　paper　can　provide　the　necessary　reference　to　the　research　and　application　of　jointless　bridge　in　the　future.　©　2023,　The　Author(s),　under　exclusive　license　to　Springer　Nature　Singapore　Pte　Ltd.
