1. An exhaust emission control device comprising a particulate filter, a selective reduction catalyst capable of selectively reacting NOx with ammonia even in the presence of oxygen, said selective reduction catalyst being arranged downstream of and in parallel with said particulate filter such that entry ends thereof are directed to the same direction, and an S-shaped communication passage for introduction of exhaust gas from a discharge end of the particulate filter to the entry end of the selective reduction catalyst through turndown, urea water being addible upstream of said communication passage, wherein a straight portion extending axially of the particulate filter and of the selective reduction catalyst in the communication passage is constituted at an intermediate portion thereof by a double-pipe portion comprising overlapped inner and outer pipes which are relatively stretchable and retractable and one and the other of which provide upstream and downstream ducts of said straight portion, respectively, said outer pipe in said double-pipe portion having a terminal end secured to an outer periphery of the inner pipe and being formed at an appropriate position with an axially expansible and contractible bellows, a sealing ring being fitted over the outer periphery at a terminal end of the inner pipe to slidably abut against an inner periphery of the outer pipe so as to prevent intrusion of the exhaust gas.
